Climbs in Patagonia. We update the account given in A.A.J., 1974 on pages 201-2. There are excellent reports on the Italian ascent of Cerro Torre on pages 26 to 29 and on the Swiss attempt on the east buttress of Fitz Roy on pages 32 and 33 of Mountain of September, 1974. The British expedition to the east buttress of Fitz Roy led by Peter Minks failed, as did the Polish expedition on the American route. An Argentine expedition on February 10 made the first ascent of Aguja Mermoz, which is north of and attached to Fitz Roy. Guillermo Vieiro, Héctor Cuiña and Fermín Olaechea climbed the 2500-foot north face to reach the top. Cerro Moyano, which had been unsuccessfully attempted by Jorge Skvarca’s expedition in 1973, again repulsed Cesare Fava, Boris Kambic and Fausto Barozzi. Before his death on Cerro Adela, Rafael Juárez unsuccessfully attempted with José Luis Fonrouge the east face of Cerro Murallón.
