The exploration of snow-covered mountains of the
Huascarán begins in years 1.860 - 1.869 with the
appreciations of Naturalistic Wise person
Italian Antonio Raimondi who writes: "the view
of the mountain range of Yungay did so pleasant
impression to me, that I decided to examine it
but close by touching, so to speak, the snow
with the hand, this is to raise by the gorge
until its origin, to cross the made snow-white
mountain range and to happen that way to the
Province of Pomabamba".
To beginnings of century XX the exploration of
the Huascarán and the White Mountain range

1904, arriving at about 5.100 mals of height.
That same year, Miss Annie S. Peck accompanied
by Swiss alpine guides R. Taugwalder and G
Zumtaugwald make the first attempt of climbing.
Two years later in the month of Julio of 1906

their common carriers. Finally, in the third

more capable than we had, who handling the tense
rope perfectly made a species of particular
