Bolivian female climbers have kickabout at altitude of nearly 6,000m
A video of Bolivia’s ‘Cholitas Climbers’ shows the incredible feats of the human body as they play a game of football at an altitude of nearly 6,000 metres.
The group of female climbers have made a name for scaling various peaks in recent years wearing the traditional brightly coloured “polleras”, or skirts, and seem to have some skills based on this footage.
The climbers scaled the Huayna Potosi mountain near La Paz to play their game, with whoever was shooting downhill clearly having a serious advantage.
