Plan Harmony

Itinerary

Day 1: Climbing and acclimatization school

Pass By: Huayna Potosi, Milluni Bolivia
We leave La Paz at around 9:00 am and will head off towards the mountain range, but first of all with a stop at the equipment store to try on boots, jackets and pants etc. that are needed on the rise.

We will arrive after 2 hours or so drive to the shelter and have lunch before leaving for some practice / training on the lower glacier.

You will learn to fall correctly with a ice ax, climb / walk with crampons and the general safety of the mountain. The guides are Spanish-speaking only so it is advisable to have some Spanish to get the best of this, but you can be instructed in these visual techniques to some degree.

No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: Low camp

Day 2: The High Field

Pass By: Huayna Potosi, Milluni Bolivia
A simple day consisting of a short walk of 2 or 3 hours to the height camp at 5200 meters.

You eat around 5 or 18:00 here and then sleep early before the early start of the climb.

No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: High camp

Day 3: The rise

Pass By: Huayna Potosi, Milluni Bolivia
We wake up around 1am and start the climb. It is the progress cold, dark and slow, but you will experience some great moments along the way, when you see the night lights of El Alto and La Paz from above, climb a 30-meter wall of ice, jumping over a crack or two.

The last 200 meters involve forcing yourself to a wall of 45 degrees of compressed snow that will be difficult to go after the effects of the ascent height and - this is where your mental strength is needed, but you will be rewarded with incredible views of the Cordillera and a sense of achievement that you will never forget.
