Cayesh: The Calling

Описание к видео Cayesh: The Calling

In June 2005 Steve House and Marko Prezelj climbed a new route on Cayesh, an 18,765-foot peak in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru. The new route on the west face was completed in 16 hours and 30 minutes roundtrip from the glacier. The climbing on this 11-pitch route was uncertain from start to summit: The initial 450 feet of an ice/snow couloir was followed by eleven steep pitches of mixed climbing (M7+), one pitch of pure rock (5.10 at 18,000 feet) and a last pitch of ice/snow that led to the corniced summit. Video shot by House and Prezelj.
