Research revealed that fluctuations in Huaguruncho's glaciers were caused by temperature changes in the tropical Atlantic Ocean, with the last major glacial expansion occurring ca. 4000–2000 years ago.[6]
In 1956 John Kempe led an expedition to attempt the first ascent of Huaguruncho.[10] As well as Kempe the party included George Band, Dr. Don Stafford Matthews, John Streetly, Jack Tucker and Mike Westmacott. Streetly and Westmacott successfully reached the summit on 17 August 1956.[1][11]
