Mount sajama..6520m.

The highest mountain in Bolivia is called Nevado Del Sajama and is it in the city of Oruro. It is (6542 m), and is an extinct volcano with a glacial cap. Severe local storms, high winds and the altitude are the main obstacles to any ascent. The mountain was first attempted in 1927 when Joseph Prem soloed the north-west ridge to a height of 6200 m. Several attempts failed due to weather conditions until Prem and his partner Wilfrid Kuehm finally reached the summit of Sajama in August 1939 via the the much more difficult south-east ridge.
