Beautiful!,

This review is from: Bolivia: A Climbing Guide (Paperback)
From Planeta Journal - Before his death in 1999, the author was a professional mountain guide and adventure traveler based in La Paz. A colleague and friend wrote: "His books are the best that have been written about Bolivia's trekking and climbing in decades." In this useful book Brain provides a number of choices of where to climb, including new and lesser-known routes in the cordilleras--Real, Apolobamba, Quimsa Cruz, and Occidental.

Tribute to Yossi,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bolivia: A Climbing Guide (Paperback)
This is a great book covering Bolivian mountaineering--not basic hiking and trekking, but the true climbs.Yossi was a fantastic person who, even 4 years after his death, is very much missed. He lived the spirit and passion that is the great country of Bolivia! Hasta La Cumbre! Viva Yossi & Viva Bolivia!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Clear concise guide to the routes on all the likely peaks.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bolivia: A Climbing Guide (Paperback)
Yossi's local experience shines through in the intial advice and the route descriptions. The ranges, groups of peaks, approaches to induvidual mountains and the routes given for each peak are well laid out, clear and concise. Photgraphs are included to give an impression of the types of climbing and the setting. For the peaks and routes I have experienced the descriptions are excellent and I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if this book had been around earlier. The book is available at the same time as the infrastructure has improved to support visiting climbers so get a copy and get out there.
