Access Issue: Bolivia is unstable Details

Bolivia is not the stablest of countries. We experienced road blocks and had to bribe some locals with a case of beer. All but the most seasoned mountaineers should consider finding a guide in La Paz.

Description

The tallest peak in the Cordillera Real Mountains. Experiences some surprisingly good weather for it's height but is still a 6,000 m peak and offers everything that comes with that prestigious title.

Getting There

The approach is a little hazy, could use some help here. We drove from La Paz for 4-5 hours and parked at a farm at the base. Hiked for several miles to a base camp at around 14,000 ft.
