Overview

The Huayna Potosí is the only snow mountain at 6,000 metres above sea level, which can be accessed quickly in less time.

Since it is quite accessible, it only requires a minimum of experience in high mountaineering. Nevertheless. Huayna Potosí has a thousand adventures and an accident storey whose attack on the summit from the north and west faces the protagonist, and many people die trying. The North and West Faces are actually rated as Extreme Difficulty.
