South America, Bolivia, Condoriri and Other Peaks, Cordillera Real
Condoriri and Huayna Potosí, Cordillera Real. Our expedition, Dr. Rudolf Fürst and his wife Dorothee, my wife Else and I, drove on July 4 to Tuni Lake and continued up the Condoriri valley to camp at Khauan Khota (lake) at 14,600 feet. Next day we continued up the eastern slopes of the valley to a 16,900-foot col, just beyond which we camped. On July 6 we ascended the glacier to the south ridge, which my wife, Dr. Fürst and I climbed to the summit (18,531 feet). On July 7 we drove to Zongo Pass (15,600 feet). On the 8th we climbed moraines on the east of Huayna Potosí and over the glaciers to 18,200 feet. On July 9 Dr. Fürst and my wife climbed higher, traversed to the southeast ridge because of new snow and gained the summit.
