Most - if not all - previous expeditions to the Cordillera Quimsa Cruz have approached from the south, but having trekked on the other (ie ‘jungle’) side in 2003, the leader had a good idea of what to expect, and decided to use that approach. Despite confusing maps, the team was successful in climbing six peaks ranging from 5112m to 5550m, but are uncertain how many were by new routes.
