New Ski Descent Made in Peru's Cordillera Blanca Range

On May 28th, 2026, a new ski line was unlocked in Peru's Cordillera Blanca Andes range. British ski mountaineer and alpinist Fay Manners and Italian ski mountaineer Marco Malcangi successfully skied through the col on the southwest ridge between the 6,162m peak Ranrapalcaand Ocshapalca.
When Manners and Malcangi arrived in Huaraz, local guide Cesar Vicuña told them that the line hadn't been climbed in decades. Glacial barriers had complicated the attempts of other mountaineers to climb it
