A novel about the Cordillera Blanca ...

Halfway through, and with the exception of a few inaccuracies, it has been something of a page-turner. Not a climbing novel per say, but it does involve trekkers stomping through some climbing basecamps.

The novel is set in the early days of the Sendero Luminoso, when they spread out from the jungle into the mountains. A nasty time for Peru, and for all the locals and climbers who were robbed or killed in Ancash province.
