A few years ago, my Canadian hiking buddy Grant Assenheimer and I did an 11-day trek on the infamous Huayhuash Circuit in Peru. It was superb.
… the remote, forbidding Huayhuash range was made famous when Joe Simpson & Simon Yates climbed Siula Grande in 1985. The book & film Touching the Void were both hits. …
… Punta Coyoc pass 5490m (18,012ft) …
Grant is in Kathmandu right now deciding on an early November hike. So far he is leaning towards Annapurna Base Camp off the Annapurna Circuit. Alternately, one of the less touristy Everest hikes.
Leave a comment below if you will be in Nepal. October / November are the best months. Grant is looking for trekking partners.
He’s happy to hike independently. Or to hire a guide.
