Overview
The heart of the Cordillera Real offers an exclusive opportunity for experienced mountaineers. First opened by our guides in 2010 together with Bolivian Mountain Guides, the west side route offers a challenging but more accessible climb compared to traditional routes. The expedition is shorter and there are fewer climbers on the route, allowing for a pioneering experience. From the access point to the summit, climbers are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Andes, making this ascent memorable and unique for those seeking a true alpine adventure.
Details
The ascent follows the newly explored route on the west side, which offers a shorter and less crowded climb. Climbers enjoy spectacular Andean views while experiencing a pioneering expedition.
