Hi Mike, I was in Peru for climbing during the summer of 1999. It's a wonderful country and there is a lot of peaks to be climbed there. Not really sure what kind of climb you are interested in. There is a couple of climbing guides you can refeer to but I don't remember the exact titles. email me if you are interested and I will check and give you the exact references. Some nice climbs you may be interested in are Urus and Ishinqua (two easy but nice ones to warm-up and get acclimatize), Tocclaraju (a really nice mountain and more technical climb) and the classical but also harder Alpamayo. Anyway, email me and I will be more than happy to help you if I can.
