CLIMB PEQUEÑO ALPAMAYO & CONDORIRI (5 days)

“Diverse daily technical climbs in alpine style”

Day 1: Drive from La Paz to TUNI Lake (4.420 m high). A 3 hour walk through grassy terrain leads us up to the base camp at CHIARKHOTA Lake (4.650 m high), located below the glaciers of Condoriri’s peaks.

Day 2: CLIMB TO PEQUEÑO ALPAMAYO (5.420 m high). This is the second most important summit of Condoriri group. A rather technical climb of short and aesthetic passages (55º steep). We climb up (3 hrs) by gentle glaciers, with no technical climb but exceptionally big crevasses to traverse and a short technical climb before the summit. 6 hour climb.Trekkers in Condoriri National Park

Day 3: Rest day but if you do only the climb of Pequeño Alpamayo in your program, then, WE RETURN TODAY TO LA PAZ.

Day 4: CLIMB TO HEAD OF CONDOR (5750 m high) which is the main peak in Condoriri. 3 hour climb over loose rocks up to the glacier at 5300 m high. 3 hours over gentle but quite crevassed glaciers up to the base of the summit walls at 5450 m high. 2 hours of ice-work up the arête at 50º and at times loose rock. Return to base camp.
