Artesonraju. Our expedition was composed of María Antonia Crespo, Miguel and Fidel de Godos, Pedro Marcos, Jorge Izquierdo, Vicente García, Javier Martínez and me. Marcos and I climbed Artesonraju (19,767 feet) by the north-northeast glacier, the north-northeast face and the north ridge. We got to the top on July 19 from Camp II at 18,600 feet. The descent by the same route involved seven rappels. On July 22 Marcos, Fidel de Godos and Martínez climbed Millishraju II (18,045 feet). Base Camp was at 14,100 feet in the Quebrada Artesón, which rises off the Quebrada Santa Cruz.
