A season log. Quoted lines are from my tick list.

6 June. Pisco, Normal Route. Solo.

10 June. Chopicalqui, 6,354 m, Southwest Ridge.

20 June. Huamashraju, West Face Normal. Three pitches at 5.6. Descended with Tomi.

24 June. Ichic Ulta. Two pitches, with Fede and Nacho. “Sick pitches and choose your own adventures.”

26 June. Huamashraju again, the West Face granite crack. Five pitches at 5.10a/b, on lead. “Probably not on the line quite exactly.”

29 June. Vallunaraju, Southwest Route. An attempt with Nora and Enecko. He got sick 150 m below the summit.

1 July. Huarapasca, South Route. AI3, on lead.

6 July. Rima Rima, Southeast Ramp. Two pitches at 5.9, with Reni, Jesus and Fede.

Caullaraju, 5,682 m, also went this season. It is not on my tick list, so I have no date for it.

Ishinca, Northwest Slopes, 5,530 m, closed things out. Third time on that one, after 2023 and 2025.
