Illimani is just plain big! Over 21,000 feet high, the mountain towers 9000 feet above La Paz, about 25 miles away. (Greg Vernovage)
The high peaks of Bolivia are superb climbing objectives during the summer season, when the combination of great weather, technical climbing, and high altitude provides ideal training for the Himalayas and other high mountains. IMG guides Greg Vernovage and Luke Reilly are working with their teams to prepare for our upcoming July and August trips. Having the correct gear makes a difference on big mountains like these! We still have a few spaces left on the teams. Can you join us?
