| bdynkin | Nobody on the route/mountain  Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2007 | |
| Climbed with AlexeyD. Amazingly, saw nobody the entire summit day except when got back returend back to the hut. With nobody on the route it seemed like a large, complicated mountain and a bit serious mountain for our team of two. | ||

| Summited on the moment that three climbers just fell of the westface. Fortunately they survived it. Nice summit ridge. | |

| bledl | Via de los Franceses | |
| Hiked up to Campo Argentino & camped there completely alone (all tourists stayed in the hut). Climbed Via de los franceses with Martin, Christoph & Markus. Climbed the whole route in best neve without unpacking the rope & traversed to the main summit. We were alone during the whole climb. One of the best routes I have climbed so far. | |

| BLong | Overclimbed! Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2009 | |
| This peak is an over climbed tourist trap that sees between 20-35 mostly underprepared people attempt the summit a day. If you want an easy, accessible peak with an obvious track to the summit, hit up H.P. I wished I spent my time climbing Condorirri.

| Since we did the climb during Bolivia's wet season, there were no other climbers on the peak anywhere, which was awesome. Foggy conditions until the sun broke through, and awesome summit views. | |

| My first 6.000 m peak! Great experience, although too many people on this mountain for my taste... Beautiful views to the Altiplano, to Lake Titicaca and even to Sajama from the summit. Had an incredible guide (Bernardo Guarachi from Andes Expediciones, he was the first Bolivian to climb Mt. Everest in 1998). | |

| photo61guy | Another Nice Day Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2008 | |
| Nornal route was a walk-up, but I did feel the almost 20,000' elevation. Way too many people on the mountain was rather unenjoyable. | ||

| When I climbed Huayna Potosi fifty years before you did, our party was practically the only group to climb it in 1958. Air travel has made this mountain much more accessible to many people who otherwise would never climb it. | |

| johnmountaineering | Great climb and company Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2008 | |
| We had a great time on Huayna Potosi. The trip was everything We had hoped it would be. Summitting was definitely the high point. Overall I thought the expedition and specially the guides were excellent,in my book you could not find a more qualified company, they`re the best in Bolivia...I personally recommend using www.bolivianjourneys.org for your next expedition... | |

| Hardly anyone else on the mountain that day and the sunrise from near the top was incredible. One of my favorite peaks just because of its beautiful profile. | |
