One of the most demanding climbs in the Cordillera Real, both physically and technically, this should only be attempted by those in very good shape and with a reasonable amount of experience on the ice. Despite this, it is a spectacular climb and Bolivian Mountains is one of the few agencies in Bolivia which can offer you this mountain.
