description: For decades the long snow-capped range of the Cordillera Blanca has challenged the climbers of the world. The last supreme challenge was Huanstan: 21,000 feet of deep cravasses, of soft, treacherous snow, of knife edges and vertical walls and tremendous cornices of ice. It was the dream of two young Danish geologists, Egeler and de Booy, that they should be the first to climb it. They were accompanied by master French Alpinist Lionel Terray.
