A spectacular guidebook to a spectacular range, this is the most recent English-language guidebook to Peru's Cordillera Blanca, and still very valuable in the streets of Huaraz. The large-format and huge color photographs make this equally well-suited for a coffee table as for an expedition.
This is the 2003 first edition. It covers 48 routes on 36 peaks, plus maps, approach beta, and general cultural info most of which is still applicable 24 years later.
202 pages, full color. This copy with a personal retirement message to the previous owner written inside the front cover, but otherwise perfect condition — although he told me he climbed elsewhere in the Andes, the recipient never made a trip to Peru.
