I'm really lucky to be able to move to get more experience and practice mountaineering. I'm having a tough time figuring out what makes a good mountaineering base. Does the number of peaks matter, or is it okay to climb the same ones over and over for practice? Should I look for a place with a mountaineering school/courses?

Right now, I'm looking at the following spots:

Quito, Ecuador

Huaraz, Peru

Cusco/Urubamba, Peru

La Paz, Bolivia

Mendoza, Argentina

Any input is appreciated. Thank you

I remember a post a few months back where someone posted a spreadsheet of some 6,000+ peaks but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link to the post? Thank you

Just walked past the line, there are at least two hundred people in line waiting right now.
