This 6088m giant, can be climbed without any technical climbing experience. So it can classified as a beginner mountin climb...however this monster was no joke. I do recommend it for everyone who's relatively physically fit, however prepare yourself first by acclimatizing longer than I did.

Well done man! I really like the style!!

[@emmmdrole9461]

I will be there this month I’m so excited about it!

[@MarkHarrison4]

Make sure you aclimatize or take the meds... altitude sickness is no joke!

[@nicksadventuresbolivia2834]

Epic video. Bolivia is so amazing. Amazing mountains, Jungle ,Pantanal, Gran Chaco, Salt Flats and so much more.

[@MarkHarrison4]

I love Bolivia so much

[@nicksadventuresbolivia2834]

@@MarkHarrison4 Did you explore the Jungle regions. In Santa Cruz its crazy we do Jaguar and Anaconda trips. See them basically every trip. Was lucky to see a Spectacled Bear in Cochabamba too. I am aiming to climb Huyana Potosi soon and your video helped a lot !! The last part looks mental

[@Leon-ml4tv]

That's so awesome👍🏼👏

Wowza! Unreal job boys!

[@MarkHarrison4]

Chase Davidson even high for chase standards haha

[@megaira86]

Gosh, you guys are the craziest persons. It looks freeking intense and spectacular at the same time. Glad, that you find your way back home safe. Does it feels good to come back home after such a long time of traveling or is it weird? I'm on a trip around the world right now and i'm afraid of coming home one day because you changed yourself so much while making all this incredible experiences and at home nothings changed. I enjoyed every pic and vid from this trip so much. So thanks for taking us with you.

[@MarkHarrison4]

Thanks a lot Petra! Feels really great to be home and see all my family including my 9 nieces and nephews. It's not that weird now because I guess i'm used to it... I've been overseas for 6 years now. Although I totally understand what you are feeling on your trip, it's a tough transition coming back home for sure.

[@judithcalderon7517]

I was like "I have to do it" until I saw the narrowed iced path and "Yeah, that won't be me, for sure". 😅 You guys are really brave! Loved the video!

[@peterdavies5371]

It's so hard to capture film and endure what you went through. Well done. Loved the pacing and editing - thank you for putting this together.

[@MarkHarrison4]

Cheers Peter, I appreciate it. You're absolutely right it was difficult to not only piece together the whole story, but to actually film while we were up there.. I was light headed the whole time haha

[@peterdavies5371]

I saw! I'm going to attempt this in a few months - it certainly looks like the kind of trip that people underestimate. Seeing your film has made me a little more wary. If you don't mind me asking - how much training did you do before hand, if any?

[@MarkHarrison4]

nah, no training needed. Just need to acclimatize, 10 days in La Paz or similar altitude should do it.... if not, take altitude meds

[@peterdavies5371]

Roger that. Was in La Paz a long time ago. There are worse places to spend 10 days. Thanks for replying!

[@MarkHarrison4]

@@peterdavies5371 TRUE! I love La Paz! ANytime pal :)

[@TheBoliviaShow]

I see this mountain everyday from my window. As an american living in Bolivia, it would be a shame if i never climb this. Im gonna do it this year 2021

[@MarkHarrison4]

yassss, you'll be fine if you live in La Paz. You've been acclimatized for a long time!

[@alejandrosilvafilmmaker2319]

Bro this is insane! looks unreal

Hi guys, thank for visiting my country Bolivia. Your video is amazing but it could be greatest if you put the music from lodes Andes de Bolivia, I' leave for you some music .

[@rafaelcanaviri4815]

Buena nota... El huayna Potosi (El joven Potosi)... es una de las montañas mas visitadas de Bolivia...supera los 6000 metros... y por eso es lindo... acompañado de otras montañas ke superan los 6000 msnm.... grazias x su visita.

[@MarkHarrison4]

[@elbueno12]

Respect guys! I did the Chachani in Peru (6.075m) so I can really relate to the altitude sickness, headaches, breathing difficulties etc. Amazing video! I'm impressed you had the energy to take such good photos and videoes! Well done :)

[@MarkHarrison4]

Andreas Munch so glad you understand! And man I was delirious, lucky that Jon had all the energy to shoot video. So thankful for him on this one

Samy De Cort please start Slow with like 2000 m Peak, dont be stupid please

[@tmarozick]

I went up there a few years back, solo. I lost the route somewhere above high camp and had to turn around. How did you find the route, or was it well tracked in?

[@mountainswinesadventures6737]

Great video , with wich company did you climbit?

[@rockblog6047]

Great ascent! I have been there some years ago...unfortunately I ate something bad and had to stay in the hut...hopefully I´ll try again. Did you climb Nevado Illimani too? That was so far my highest peak.

[@MarkHarrison4]

Oh that's too bad about the climb... I would love to climb Nevado though, well done!

[@MarkHarrison4]

Geico Torres thanks a lot!! Well I did it in Late May this year and that’s getting kinda cold for Bolivia. I would avoid July August but anytime other than that you should be fine!

[@niclosioclanchez]

could you tellme wich camera do you use for meke the pictures and the video?

[@jasonrosman2379]

Is it possible to do a guided climb there with more acclimatization time ?

[@juantopo]

Is it possible to get the time lapse footage somewhere?

[@DudleyEliteTeamInternational]

What camera did you use to film this? Thanks for the great video

[@MarkHarrison4]

Lumix GH5 and then some gopro shots

[@clarahanssens5016]

[@MarkHarrison4]
