Description

Huayna Potosí is 6,088 meters above sea level and is the most popular mountain to climb in Bolivia. However, few adventurers try to explore it with their splitboards on. This is my proposal! Join me on this splitboarding week in Bolivia where our main objective will be to conquer the famous Huayna Potosí mountain!

Acclimatization is very important for this trip. Therefore, our 7-day program will consist in ascending different peaks of the Cordillera Real, culminating with the famous Huayna Potosí. I have organized this tour in order to enjoy every ascent and reach every summit in the best possible condition.

As our final and most important ascent will take us 2 days, my suggestion is to start climbing on the last two days of our tour. First, we’ll transfer in a private vehicle from La Paz to Casa Blanca refuge (4750 m). Then, from there, we’ll climb to Campo de Rosas (5130 m). Up to the moraine it will be a peaceful climb but then we’ll find a more challenging path. Finally, we will end our day at the Refuge. The next day, our ascent will take us about 6-8 hours approximately. To wrap up we’ll experience an amazing descent from 6088 m to 4900 m!

With 55-60º slopes during the last 200 m, Huayna Potosí is ideal for experienced skiers and splitboarders who are looking for a new challenge. Thanks to its close location to La Paz riders will admire stunning views of this city as well as the Altiplano and the entire Cordillera Real.

Does this splitboarding week sound tempting? Then request to book this trip and I’ll make sure you have an amazing experience!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
