Ansilta Range, located within the Argentinean Province of San Juan, consists of a string of seven peaks exceeding 5000m, Ansilta I – VII, the highest being Ansilta II at 5,890m. The Ansilta is infrequently visited, with several of the peaks holding as few as two known ascents.

The Ansilta Range presents a climbing destination of wild and gorgeous scenery, with relatively short and easy access. The access routes to the Ansilta range are via the Rio Ansilta upon the Cordillera’s Northeast for peaks I & II, and via Los Morrillos Nature Reserve for peaks III, IV & V, and the remaining peaks VI and VII via the Arroyo Casa de Piedra. In all cases access to the trailheads requires transfer by 4WD and arrangement of the necessary permits from land owners.

General speaking, the technical difficulties of these routes can be considered as moderate to easy even though some routes are through glaciers and/or couloirs, the snow conditions are usually good and the exposure low.  Due to its location, Ansilta is fortunate enough to experience relatively good weather throughout the year, in fact most of the peaks have been climbed during the Andean winter!
