The word cholita has been used pejoratively to refer to Aymara women.[6] They have also been ridiculed for wearing their traditional costumes and have been discriminated against in public spaces and in employment opportunities. To challenge these negative connotations, this group of mountaineers climb in their traditional attire.[7][3] Other Cholitas, such as the fighting cholitas, and the skating cholitas,[1] have excelled in other extreme sports and Aymara women in traditional dress are moving into other fields at high levels.[8][9]
That was a genuinely fascinating read, thanks for posting this ☺️

Awesome! Mountain climbing in a dress that heavy is some DBZ training shit.
