Climbing partner for IllimaniCountry forums / South America / Bolivia | ||
Hi! I'm currently in La Paz and looking for a climbing partner to climb Illimani (6,438 meters) with me. I'd like to start the 4-day climb as soon as possible while the weather is still good. I'm planning to do this with a guide (2 people per guide). I asked around and it sounds like the cost for everything (guide, equipment, food, transportation, etc.) would be about 2,500 bolivianos each. Over the past week I climbed Huayna Potosi and Pequeño Alpamayp without a problem, so I feel well climatized for the 6,400m peak. Before Bolivia I climbed Nevado Pisco near Huaraz, Perú and Volcan El Misti near Arequipa, Perú. Let me know if you're in La Paz and interested in climbing Illimani! -Andrew | ||
Hi Andrew, I would be interested in climbing Illimani. I've climbed Yannapaccha, Ishinca and Vallunaraju in the Cordillera Blanca and by now spent about 3 month around 4000m elevation. Cheers, | 1 | |
