On Day 2, the summit attempt begins at 3:00 a.m. to take advantage of firmer snow conditions. The route includes two steep sections: the “Pala Chica” (30 meters at 50°) and the “Pala Grande” (45° incline), which leads to the summit. After about 5 hours of climbing, we’ll enjoy a breathtaking sunrise and views of Illimani, La Paz, Lake Titicaca, and the Yungas.
