BOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [3015 BO] Do I really want to climb a mountain with a cemetary in the foreground? Huayna Potosi is roughly fifteen miles due north of La Paz, which makes this mountain the most popular climb in Bolivia. The normal ascent route is a fairly straightforward but challenging glacier climb, with some crevasses and a steep climb to the summit.BOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C135] The teamBOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [3036 BO] Rodrigo on the 19.996 foot (6094 meter) summit, "Can you hear me now"?BOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C138]BOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C139B] The view from aboveBOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C145] The view from aboveBOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C140] DescendingBOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C142] Rock climber or rock star?BOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C143] Near campBOLIVIA - HUAYNA POTOSI [BO_C144]BOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C163] Driving to the mountainBOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C167] Me with the porter and some of his kidsBOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C171]BOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C180] Mules!BOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C183] Base campBOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C198] Jorge our chefBOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C184] Alain's always looking up at the mountainBOLIVIA - ILLIMANI [BO_C190] Alain spoke French and Spanish.
