Beklimming van de Huayna Potosï (6088m hoog)

Volgens ons: 6088m hoog en de vijfde hoogste berg van Bolivia Volgens Wikipedia: Huayna Potosï is a mountain in Bolivia, located about 25 km north of La Paz in the Cordillera Real. The ice-covered summit is one of the most beautiful and well-known mountains in the country. The first ascent took place in 1919 by Germans Rudolf Dienst and Adolf Schulze. It is often called the "easiest 6000er in the world." However the easiest route entails an exposed ridge and sections of moderately steep ice, with a UIAA rating of PD. There are many 6000m mountains that are easier to climb in terms of technical difficulty. The main reason that Huayna Potosi has been called the easiest 6000m climb is because the elevation gain from trailhead to summit is less than 1400 m; with easy access from La Paz. Since La Paz lies at 3600 m, climbers have an easier time acclimatizing.
