Aconcagua, North Face. Two members of an Italian expedition, Claudio Schranz and Mauro Ferrari, climbed Aconcagua via the Polish Glacier from the Berlin shelter on January 25. Schranz remained at the shelter and on January 27 made a new route on the north face. He said that the new route was not difficult. It was more a question of route-finding among the pinnacles and gullies.
