Cordillera Blanca Escaladas by Anotonio Bohorquez (2003)

Parte Norte.

SPANISH LANGUAGE. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference guide to the Cordillera Blanca. Yes, even though it's from 2003. The author, Antonio "Sevi" Bohorquez, is the preeminent scholar on the range, with many contributions to the American Alpine Journal regarding names, etymology, and routes through the years. His blog is located at https://andesinfo.blogspot.com/, if you want to do some old-school internet surfing. 

According to Sevi, the guide was limited to a print run of 2,100 copies and will not be reprinted. It contains thorough information on historical routes up to the early 2000s, as well as more general information on the area and culture. It covers over 300 climbs to 100 unique summits, focusing on the northern part of the range. The follow-up book, which would have logically covered the Cordillera Blanca - Sur, was never released.

272 pages, black-and-white with index & bibliography. This copy is brand-new.

In the author's own words: "En la década de 1980 la mayoría de la información sobre ascensiones en la Cordillera Blanca peruana se publicaba en idiomas distintos al castellano, así que decidí publicar una guía que incluyera todas las rutas de escalada en las cimas superiores a los 5000 metros.

Impresa en 2004, abarca desde el macizo del Champará hasta el del Huascarán; es decir, la parte norte de la cadena montañosa tropical más alta de la Tierra. Ha colaborado en ella parte de los mejores alpinistas del mundo.

Como se trata de una obra de referencia que nunca quedará obsoleta, quise que su edición fuera primera y última. Así que destruí la maqueta, para evitar incluso la reimpresión del libro. Conservé tres capítulos de prueba en pdf."
