"Our first attempt for 6000m peak. It's done in 2-3 days. We went with Climbing South America. The same night another approximately 30 ppl were summiting, the most in that month as I saw from the diary log between base and high camp. We were caught in a snowstorm, strong wind and low visibility prevented many to succeed, but we managed.

"Very mellow trip led by Alpenglow guide Jamie. I was pretty out of it most of the time but he got me through it. Just a long snowy haul with some icy-bits and occasional crevasse crossings. I gave up a few times but we kept deciding to go just a bit more and what do I know, we round a corner and I can see the summit just a hundred feet up. It was a proud end to a three week long trip to Bolivia." — paperpanther • Aug 25, 2010

"Huayna Potosi was our first peak. We (girlfriend and I) arrived in Bolivia as backpackers very unprepared to climb so we rented all equipment. Met our guide and headed up to Base, then High camp. Started the climb at approx 1am and slowly made our way to the top. Weather was cold but calm and after a few hairy moments of fatigue and struggle due to the altitude we made it to the summit! A big moment for first time climbers." — monkey • Jul 11, 2007
