Welcome to Quimsa Cruz - Climbing multi-pitch trad protected routes on excellent granite

You finally found the page you are looking for ! Quimsa cruz is a hidden and little known paradise for rock climbers. Most already established routes have between 4 and 7 pitches, are trad protected, with the classic routes, now having installed belay stations and rappel routes. There is however still a huge potential to establish new routes. The base camp is very confortable, on a lawn covered surface, with flowing water. From La Paz it takes 8 hours with private transport. It is thus recommended to stay at least 5 days to take profit of this magic location. Why not make some awesome multi pitch rock climbs while getting used to altitude, before heading for higher snow covered summits ?

Not that confortable with placing trad protection gear ? Take the opportunity to be led by one of our IFMGA mountain guides which will not only lead for you the most beautiful routes the area has to offer, but who also is certified to give you a proper training and introduction into multi pitch climbing and gear placement.
