This 20,000 foot mountain can be seen from almost anywhere in La Paz. It sits just outside the city of El Alto (elev. around 14,000 feet). Some of El Alto is seen in this picture. Anyway, the mountain is a popular climb among Europeans because you don't need to pay large amounts of money to climb in Bolivia like you do in the Himalayas. Also, this mountain can be climbed in just 2 or 3 days. However, these mountains aren't as well known to North American climbers.

That picture is pritty. Too bad it's fake! Everyone knows there's no snow anymore.
Now that's a mountain!
