No idea about the climbing, but one part of me fantasizes that they use Bolivian Marching powder in their chalk bags... : )

I've done two seasons mountaineering in Bolivia, and it's the bomb. Very stable weather during the season and access is fairly good considering the size and location of the mountains. No peak fees! You will want a copy of "Bolivia: A Climbing Guide" by the late Yossi Brain, to wet your appetite.

As for warmer rock cragging, haven't done any but there is bound to be lots. Quimsa Cruz is not far from La Paz and was being developed last time I was poking around there. Way down in the jungles there are sandstone mesas & other cool stuff.
