EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures the awe-inspiring journey of Bolivia's cholita climbers. In April 2016, an Aymara indigenous woman fearlessly practices climbing on the majestic Huayna Potosi mountain. Two years prior, a group of brave Aymara women, aged 42 to 50, who had previously worked as porters and cooks for mountaineers in the region, decided to embark on their own climbing adventures. Underneath their wide traditional skirts, these determined women donned crampons and defied societal expectations by venturing into the challenging world of mountaineering. The image showcases a low angle view that emphasizes both the height they are ascending and the vastness of the sky above them. The photograph highlights a solitary figure adorned with a safety helmet against a backdrop of rocky slopes and clear blue skies. Although her face remains unrecognizable, her colorful Bolivian attire stands out against the natural environment surrounding her. This powerful image not only portrays strength and resilience but also challenges stereotypes about gender roles within indigenous communities. It serves as a reminder that determination knows no boundaries or limitations. David Mercado's skillful composition creatively captures this momentous occasion where tradition meets modernity amidst breathtaking landscapes. This photograph is part of Reuters' wider collection showcasing extraordinary stories from around the globe through compelling imagery.
