Talk:Huascarán

1970 earthquake
The second and third paragraphs have nothing to do with the 1970 earthquake, but are about climbers killed by avalanches. I suggest the paragraphs be moved to the Climbing section, where the second para refers to 9 climbers killed in an avalanche. The second and subsequent paragraphs of Climbing would then be

An avalanche on January 10, 1962, caused by a rapid rise in temperature,[20] killed an estimated 4,000 people.[24]

Also buried by an avalanche in 1970 was a Czechoslovak mountaineering team, none of whose 15 members were ever seen again.[23] This and other earthquake-induced avalanche events are often described[by whom?] evocatively as "eruptions" of Huascarán, despite not being of volcanic origin.

On July 20, 2016, nine climbers were caught in an avalanche on Huascarán's normal route at approximately 5,800 m (19,000 ft), four of whom died.[12] Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 10:14, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
