Speciality 01
High-altitude climbing
Sixteen graded ascents from 5,230 m to 6,542 m. Glacier travel, fixed rope, crevasse rescue — and a summit push that starts at one in the morning.

Climbing and trekking. Nothing else.
Two disciplines, twenty-three years, one range. We put the rope, the crampons and the ice axe in your hands, and a certified Bolivian mountain guide on the other end of it.

01 — Specialities
We are not a
general agency.
Most operators in La Paz resell whatever you ask for. We do two things, and we own the equipment for both — which is why the guide on your rope has used it before and knows it fits.
Speciality 02
Multi-day trekking
Sixteen traverses from three to eighteen days. Mules carry the load, a cook feeds the camp, and you walk a pass every morning with a daypack.

That is the speciality.
We also run these.
Twenty-three years working one country teaches you the rest of it. When a group wants a rest week between summits, or arrives with family who are not climbing, these are ours too — run by the same office, with the same guides.
02 — The gear
You do not have to
fly with a rope.
Technical equipment is heavy, expensive and awkward to check in. Ours is included, maintained in La Paz, and fitted to you at the office before you leave the city — not handed over at the trailhead.
03 — Routes
Fifty routes,
ranked by altitude.
04 — Altitude
Do not fly in
and climb.
La Paz sits at 3,640 m — higher than any summit in the Alps. Altitude sickness ends more attempts than weather or technique. This is the progression we put people on, built from our own routes.

Cost depends on the group, the season and the route. Rather than post a number we cannot honour, we quote properly — usually within 24 hours, in your currency, with the exclusions written down.
