== Climbing == The standard climbing route is the Southwest Ridge, a moderate snow climb that is popular with climbers and can be crowded at times. It possesses a difficulty rating of PD+/AD- on the French System for grading alpine routes but deep snow on the summit slopes causes most failures for parties attempting the ridge.<ref name=":2" />
Other established climbing routes include the following: # Southeast Ridge (alpine grade TD-).<ref name=":2" /> # East Face Direct (alpine grade TD).<ref name=":2">B. Johnson, Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca Peru, 2009</ref>
