The amazing Huascaran - Peru's tallest mountain. First reached the summit by Annie Smith Peck at age 58, a woman *way* ahead of her time in the mountaineering field. (Born in 1850) The world's only major mountain to be first summited by a woman. www.ric.edu/rpotter/smithpeck.html In 1970 an earthquake caused huge ice chunk to come crashing down, resulting in mud & rock flow that instantaneously killed 20,000 people in nearby town. To date that was South America's worst earthquake in terms of number of people killed. More widespread than just the Huaraz area.
