Kimsakolyo, Lloca de Ancohuma and Other Peaks. Our expedition was composed of Pere Aymerich, Francesc Banqué, Jordi Canals, Dr. Marçal Castaño, Jaume Rovira and me. On July 30 Aymerich and Canals made a route in the Huayna Potosí region: the northwest ridge of Maria Lloco (or Mamailloca). We climbed in the northern part of the Cordillera Real near Sorata, above the Coocó valley, from August 4 to 15. We placed our Base Camp on Laguna Chearcota at 15,425 feet and Camps I and II at 17,400 and 18,050 feet on the Coocó Glacier.
