Mountaineers/Backcountry skiers Friendship Meeting

I would like to hike Mt Whitney classical trail before permission season takes place. So far, two-time frames can work for me, 15-19 and 22-26 of April depending on the weather. Sierra Nevada has had some snow this year, therefore snow shoes still can be involved for this climb.

My biggest dream and possible goal for this meeting would guided climb of Illimani Peak (6446 meters) in Bolivia (second highest peak in Bolivia) with acclimatization week hike in Cordillera Real or 12 days trek Peru Huayhuash. (according of the videos Huayhuash is more beautiful compared to any of Himalayan trips I was involved in the past) . This could be done in August-September of 2026 or for 2026-2027in two parts. I have been exploring both adventures, contacting the cheapest providers and I have an idea of very reasonable prices even for a single climber, but with partners this would be much cheaper and safer.
Possible dates are under consideration.
