Fitz Roy, North Face. A Polish expedition climbed a new route on the north face of Fitz Roy between the Casarotto buttress and Afanassieff’s route. They were Piotr Lutynski, Wieslaw Burzynski, Miroslaw Falco-Sasal, Michal Kochanczak and Jacek Kozaczkiewicz. They set up Base Camp at the Piedra del Fraile and a high camp at the foot of the north face. They were twelve days on the ascent, eight days on the final push and two more on the descent. They reached the summit on December 24 at three P.M. They were lucky in having an unprecedented stretch of good weather.
