North Face

5B | TD+/ED1 | V/VI
The North Face of Jirishanca is the mountain's classic and best-known alpine objective. It is a steep, serious mixed and ice route on a very large wall, with sustained technical climbing rather than a simple snow climb. Conditions can vary greatly, and the route is strongly dependent on stable ice and low objective hazard. It is exposed to rockfall, icefall, and rapid weather changes typical of the Huayhuash. This is a high-commitment climb requiring strong alpine experience and efficient movement at altitude. It is documented in major climbing references as the standard route on the peak.

West Face

6B | ED2 | VII
The West Face is another established technical line on Nevado Jirishanca. It is generally regarded as a very difficult alpine route, with sustained steep climbing on mixed terrain and ice. The face is serious and remote, and objective hazards from seracs, rockfall, and unstable snow or ice are significant. Like the North Face, it demands excellent acclimatization and a strong weather window. It is a documented mountaineering route on the peak, but not a casual or commonly repeated objective. Exact logistical and timing details are not consistently published in standard sources.
