South America, Bolivia, Sajama

Publication Year: 1987.

Sajama. On June 1 Dr. Cleve Armstrong, Robin McIntosh, Karen Ann Young, Richard Markham and I reached the summit of Sajama (6542 meters, 21,463 feet) via the west rib. After making extensive research, we believe that ours was the first American ascent of this route; the only other documented ascent of this route was that of Germans in 1975.
