The mountain has three separate and independent summits: Pucajirca Norte (6,046 m), Central (6,014 m) and Oeste (6,039 m).[2] The current DEM data has no enough evidence to confirm its official altitude.[7]

First Ascent edit

The summit of Pucajirca Norte was first achieved on July 14, 1955, by Nick Clinch and Andrew Kauffman II (USA), also two days later by Harvey McMannis and David Sowles (USA).[8][9][10] Erwin Schneider summited Pucajirca Oeste in the 1930s.[10]
