Lima. – In our country there is huge potential for the practice of one of the outdoor sports that arouses more emotion: The Climbing. A large scale and appropriate scenarios to also align the various national figures who practice this sport. This is the case of Juan Diego and Diego Shoobridge Cebreros, young climbers for over 3 years show their skill and professionalism in the sports field, and who now aim to climb “The Sphinx”(“La Esfinge”), considered one of the ‘big walls’ most important in South America.
Located in the Huascaran National Park, with more than 700 meters and 5300 meters, the Sphinx contains within its walls many routes, a feature that differentiates it from other walls and makes it extremely difficult. Its main attraction is its beautiful landscapes, as found in the Cordillera Blanca, the highest and most majestic in the world and through the experience can be seen behind Huandoy, the Huascaran and Alpamayo, being this last the mountain striking the planet.
Juan Diego and Diego begin this adventure on Wednesday August 1st leaving from Lima to the walls of Antacocha in Recuay, which made climbing acclimatization on Thursday 02 and leave for Huaraz at night. On Sunday 05 is mobilized to Caraz and finally made the long trek to the base of the Sphinx. From Monday 6 August embark on the path to the summit, where due to the length of the wall, it is often necessary to sleep in it, for this reason is expected to take place in about two days.
The North Face supports these two young talents in this experience that combines elements such as risk, the altitude and the beautiful scenery make it a unique project with great potential to spread this route as an excellent alternative to practice this sport.
