Kikash (Quechua, hispanicized spelling Quicash) or Pampash (in the local Quechua variant, pampa means "large plain")[2] is a mountain in the Wallanka mountain range[1] in the Andes of Peru, about 5,338 m (17,513 ft)) high. It is located in the Ancash Region, Bolognesi Province, Aquia District.[3][4] It is situated southwest of the main range in a small subrange called Waman Wiqi (Quechua waman falcon or variable hawk, wiqi tear,[2][5] "falcon tear" or "hawk tear", hispanicized Huaman Hueque, Huamán Hueque, Huamanhuequi). There is a little lake named Waman Wiqi southeast of the Kikash. The short little stream Pampash originates on the west side of the mountain. It flows west to Patiwillka River.
