Summited Western summit alone, climbing single-push from the village, carrying my bike or cycling. Descented with mountain bike from 5600 m. I was 19 back then - awesome experience!
Attempted after 2 days in altitude. First day : from the village of Ollague to the ruins of mining cabañas. Spent the night there. Second day : summit attempt. Lamentably I had to stop at 5100 due to exhaustion and lack of acclimatation. ... I'll be back ! Beautiful place, though spending 5 days in Ollagüe village is a bit too long !!
