301 in the shade of 6088

is already 301 post, but this number will be in the most important. It was only 6 088th

13 August 2010 he won his first 6-tysiecznik - Huay Potosi (6 088 m) in Bolivia. Huayna Potosi

is considered to be the easiest 6-tysiecznik in the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. A typical route to the summit can not be a difficult climb, but it is not too easy. Claiming to be easy to climb the mountain due to being close to La Paz away only 25 km away. Staying in La Paz allows acclimatization.

course of the possibility of the entrance to the mountain I knew a long time, but knowing about it, the magician will have no desire to input only mentioned it a few times. Imagine my surprise when Mag itself suggested that I may, however, this 2-day expedition he chose. I do not know how to return the favor!

our guide for advice agencies chose Footprint Alberth Bolivia Tours, whose managerka Are you on behalf of ... Miroslava. Course is typical of Chola, a native resident of the area.

trip plan can be read here . Is it possible to select for a 3 days of learning of ice climbing on the first day, but I lack of time I chose 2-day options. Straight to the top!

The first day was not difficult. Podwieziono my car to the first camp at an altitude of 4 700 m above sea level, where I met two Americans and a group of my guides. American Jonathan was even higher than me. This caused a burst of laughter among the guides. The nature of small Bolivians could not stop wondering that 50% This group of giants. Another fun they had when they saw our huge backpacks. Their size was solely due to the amount of equipment, which was required for entry to the gore. I had rented from agencies where the shell boots (plastic boots for climbing, the largest available fortunately proved to good for me. Phew), crampons, ice ax, pants snow gaiters, harnesses, helmet, balaclava and a lot of things (5 layers of clothing recommended).

the camp first started our 1.5-hour approach 500 m from the top to the second camp. It was a hostel situated in the 5 200 m above sea level, where we met Karen Australian, who was also in my group. Announced earlier Brazilian tanked during training on the glacier, which turned out to be happy in its consequences. 3 guides and 4 participants, and so I had a guide only for himself.

next day wake o. .. north. The reason for this is that on top of you to be around 7, because of the 8 on the glacier it is getting dangerously (wytapiajace stones from the walls and fall to the hikers, refracting in August under the feet of ice, greater risk of falling into the cracks in the glacier, etc.).. After a short

instruktarzu to hardware we went on a trail at 1.30 am with flashlights on their foreheads. Moon helped us unfortunately. Needless to say, it was cold, but luckily did their multi-layered dress code. Cala climbing on a glacier. The first walked 3h Theo tours very soon the whole time of course, bound by rope. I had a good acclimatization and walked all the groups. Not struggled August as at El Misti. Last 2.5 hour already could not stand the pace, so we were a bit slower, and here I got my dose of pain, but still we were on top of one of the first. Shortly after sunrise, around 7 am. Difficulties have allowed to appreciate the achievement.

Node is tiny and hula for the hurricane winds, so after a few fotkach we started descending. It took us about 2 hours and in terms of viewing gorowalo significantly above the entrance. In the sun I could appreciate the beauty of the glacier, and even serakow jump through the cracks in the ice caused more excitement. I was happy about 9 in the second camp, where he learned that he won the top as the only one in my group. Jonathan and Andrea turned back because of difficulty breathing, Andrei. For Karen breathing problems were only one reason. God included too slowly and she would be able to enter the top of the ninth Guide had with her back, because such a late arrival and departure could be disastrous finish.

conclusion, an amazing experience and adventure. Recommendable for everyone who endure cold and other difficulties in the name of beautiful views and the joy of sewing.
