Mountains & Ascents

Pequeño Alpamayo Ascent

Le Pequeño Alpamayo est sans nul doute un des sommets les plus esthétiques de la Cordillère Royale. Son arête sommitale est juste splendide et technique à souhait. C’est un des sommets les plus courus du fameux massif du Condoriri. Son ascension est sans difficultés techniques hormis la pente finale depuis le Pic Tarija (AD/II). Idéale pour une mise en jambe avant de se lancer sur un « 6000 ».
