Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Pallqarahu (Quechua pallqa, p'allqa, p'alqa forked, branched, fork,[1][2] rahu snow, ice, mountain with snow,[3] hispanicized spelling Palcaraju) is a mountain in the Andes mountain range located in the Ancash Region in northern Peru.[4] At 6,274m, it is the eighth highest summit in the Cordillera Blanca. Summits of the mountain besides its main summit are:[citation needed]
- Pallqarahu E (6,180 m)
- Pallqarahu W (6,110 m)
- Pallqarahu S (5,900 m)
Pallqarahu is part of the Chinchey massif, and the nearest summit above 6,000 m is Chinchey (6,309m) itself, 5 km away in an east-southeasterly direction.
The nearest town is Huaraz, 25 km in the southwest, situated in the Callejón de Huaylas. This town was struck by a mudslide in 1941,[citation needed] descending from the lake Pallqaqucha, 1,700 m below the summit of Pallqarahu.
In July 2012, two American climbers, Ben Horne and Gil Weiss, died on the way back down, after scaling the south face of Pallqarahu W.[5]
