This program combines 2 ½ days of trekking through the Cordillera Real, an afternoon of basic mountaineering instruction and practice, and a 2-day climb of Huayna Potosi (6088 meters). Our trek begins in the scenic Condoriri region of lakes and glaciated peaks and includes the opportunity to summit Pico Austria.
We then continue through the Andean highlands along the spine of the Cordillera Real and camp at the base of the imposing west face of Huayna Potosi. We make the transition to the Huayna Potosi base camp and spend an afternoon practicing techniques on the glacier on the lower slopes of the mountain. We then spend our final two days in the summit attempt of Huayna Potosi.
