6–7h
Duration

Climb up moraine and then glacier to a summit with two points (north and south) — a quiet, little-traveled route, a good acclimatization option for bigger objectives.

Descent: the same route back down to base camp (~2–3h), on summit day itself — return to Huaraz in the following days depending on the chosen circuit.
