Only small rocky ridges divide this giant glacial system called Ancohuma from the Illampu massif. This mountain is not important technically but it's gorgeous, there in the middle of such an extensive glacier which falls away to deep gullies. This summit can be reached from several different sides.
When climbing above 6.000 m. you can see the summit's classical shape, which resembles a bull's back.
