If you have ever wanted to experience the amazing views that come with a crushing shortness of breath this is the trip for you.
Myself and my co-host Dana Engler, invite you to join us for another once in a life time experience.
We will meet in La Paz Bolivia on June 2 where we spend three days acclimatizing to higher altitudes.
We then travel to the Condoriri area of the Cordillera Real for a week of peak bagging. This area sports 13 peaks over 5000m with the highest being almost 5700m.
Once we are done in the Condoriri it's back to La Paz for a rest day then off to climb one of two higher peaks in the area.
Once we are finished climbing we will gather in La Paz for some "tourist time" (shopping, sight seeing or maybe a bicycle descent of the death road) before departing home on June 21st.

| Required Items to Bring: |

Alpine climbing gear.

| How to Get There: |
| Event Directions: |
|
The easiest way to get there is on American Airlines. This is the only carrier that can take you from Calgary to La Paz. Other itineraries exist but will use multiple carriers...sometimes a pain and more expensive.

| Notes: |
|
This trip is self guided and locally catered.
Participants will need a good knowledge of glacier travel, route finding, first aid and winter camping. A high level of fitness will also be required.
Experience at altitude is not necessary.
A complete information package will be sent to anyone interested in joining. Please email me or put your name on the wait list to get the info pack.
We will be using a local agency for all of our in country logistics. This cost is being negotiated and is expected to be between $1500 and $2000 per person.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Deposit of $250 or proof of a plane ticket will hold you a spot.
*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
