Ch'iyar Juqhu, Mountain summit in La Paz Department, Bolivia

Ch'iyar Juqhu is a mountain summit in the Cordillera Real that rises above 6,000 meters with steep slopes and glacial formations visible across its faces. The technical climbing routes demand experience and specialized equipment for ascent.

The first recorded ascent occurred in 1928 by an Austrian and German team led by Erwin Hein. This early achievement marked its importance in modern mountaineering history.

The Aymara name links the mountain to nearby Chiar Jokho and to the Ch'iyar Juqhu river, which rises near its slopes; ch'iyara means black and juqhu muddy place. The same root appears in the local toponyms, so the peak's name is read as part of the surrounding landscape rather than as a separate label.

Visitors should prepare for extreme altitude and changeable weather that can shift rapidly. The approach demands good physical condition and acclimatization before the climb.

The first ascent on 25 June 1928 was made by Erwin Hein of Austria with Alfred Horeschowski, Hugo Hoertnagel and Hans Pfann of Germany. Its nearest key col lies at 5,049 m, giving a topographic prominence of 1,055 m, and its parent peak is Ancohuma, 18.4 km away.
