The 20 summits of the Cordillera Ampato
The Cordillera Ampato runs through Peru, and this is all of it: 20 catalogued summits, from Nevado Coropuna at 6 377 m down to Nevado Ananta at 5 240 m — 1 137 m between the first and the last, spread over roughly 179 km around 15.7° S, 72.1° W.
A range this size is climbed in two tiers. The main ridge is the first 7 — the summits within a sixth of the highest, and the goal wayly puts in front of you first. The whole range counts only once every one of the 20 is walked over.
The list is not hand-typed. wayly resolves it from the range itself against its summit catalogue — foothills under 60% of the highest left out, one summit mapped twice kept once — so it follows the mountains rather than someone's memory. And it fills itself in: a summit counts when a walk you recorded takes you over the top of it, not when you remember to tick a box.
