Basic Snow and Ice Climb
Ritak'Uwa Blanco (White Ritak'Uwa) is the highest mountain massif in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, a high central region within Colombia's Eastern Cordillera. Ritak'Uwa is composed of metamorphic rock and granite, which distinguishes it from many of the other high peaks of Colombia, which are typically volcanic. It is a snow-capped mountain with one main peak. The normal route is glacier walk with no major difficulty. The eastern side of the mountain presents several Big walls. One of the most representative Big wall is called "Vida Entre Tinieblas" (5.9, A3, 800 meters). It's first ascent was made by Fernando Gonzalez-Rubio, Matteo Mazzieri, and Hernan Wilke in 14/01/03.
