The only climbing guide to Bolivia available in English
Includes new and lesser-known routes on the Cordillera Real
Author was a highly experienced climbing guide, and a resident of Bolivia
Once called by European explorers the Himalaya of the New World, Bolivia’s
mountains issue climbers an enticing invitation. These South American peaks
offer the spectrum of mountaineering possibilities, from moderate snow treks a
bus ride away from major population centers to extreme technical ascents in
distant, lonely ranges.
The only English-language climbing guide available to Bolivia’s mountains,
this is also the first to cover all four of its ranges. Bolivia: A Climbing
Guide includes both traditional and new routes in the Cordilleras Real,
Apolobamba, Quimsa Cruz, and Occidental and presents detailed approach and
route descriptions for 37 peaks. Comprehensive information is provided on how
to prepare for your trip, including equipment, climbing season, resources in
La Paz, acclimatization, transportation, and supplies.
