Linus and his guide Macario from Bolivian Mountain guides hike about a mile and 400 vertical feet from an abandoned ski resort near La Paz, Bolivia to the summit of Mount Chacaltaya, 5,415 meters or 17,765 feet. This ski resort without snow is one of the easiest 5,000 meter peaks in the world and has great views of the iconic glaciated Huyana Potosi which reaches 6,088 meters.
