The main objecÂtive — AlpaÂmayo. MM Collection
AlpaÂmayo climbs incredÂiÂble, steeply flutÂed faces on what is conÂsidÂered the most beauÂtiÂful mounÂtain in the world, sharÂing that disÂtincÂtion alongÂside Nepal’s Ama Dablam. This sumÂmer we have three teams aimÂing for Peru’s most sought after objecÂtive. Team #1 is curÂrentÂly walkÂing into base camp and Marc RipÂpergÂer reports all is good in the Cordillera Blanca.

After a whirlÂwind of delayed flights out of the states, they arrived in Huaraz, Peru. LongÂtime MM climber Jeff D. and Marc enjoyed the surÂroundÂing PeruÂvian scenery with sevÂerÂal amazÂing acclimaÂtiÂzaÂtion hikes, includÂing a climb of 17,800 meter HuaÂmashraÂju, a peak of ice and mixed climbing.
