Highlights
This peak is impressive and justifiably popular. It is one of the easiest 6000m peaks in Bolivia. the peak is high and acclimatization is essential before climbing.
At 6,088 meters or 19,974 feet, Huayna Potosí (literally, "The Young Riches") is a beautiful and huge glacier peak that dominates the view as they come to land at La Paz airport. Multiple route choices are available ranging from a series of standard routes in the beautiful east face along some of the most difficult and direct routes that can be found in the Andes on the imposing west face.
Do not believe how easy the guides make this climb seem! Something over 6000 meters is difficult and climbing for 7 or 8 hours is annoying for anyone at high altitude. That said, if you are well acclimatized, very fit and very determined, then there is a good chance that you will, and have an unforgettable experience of your life.
Itinerary
Climbing and acclimatization school
Huayna Potosi
We leave La Paz at around 9:00 am and will head off towards the mountain range, but first of all with a stop at the equipment store to try on boots, jackets and pants etc. that are needed on the rise. We will arrive after 2 hours or so drive to the shelter and have lunch before leaving for some practice / training on the lower glacier. You will learn to fall correctly with a ice ax, climb / walk with crampons and the general safety of the mountain. The guides are Spanish-speaking only so it is advisable to have some Spanish to get the best of this, but you can be instructed in these visual techniques to some degree.- AccommodationsLow camp
The High Field
Huayna Potosi
A simple day consisting of a short walk of 2 or 3 hours to the height camp at 5200 meters. You eat around 5 or 18:00 here and then sleep early before the early start of the climb.- AccommodationsHigh camp
The rise
Huayna Potosi
We wake up around 1am and start the climb. It is the progress cold, dark and slow, but you will experience some great moments along the way, when you see the night lights of El Alto and La Paz from above, climb a 30-meter wall of ice, jumping over a crack or two. The last 200 meters involve forcing yourself to a wall of 45 degrees of compressed snow that will be difficult to go after the effects of the ascent height and - this is where your mental strength is needed, but you will be rewarded with incredible views of the Cordillera and a sense of achievement that you will never forget.
