Ocshapalca, South Face. It was reported that the French team of Jean Noel Roux, Jean Emanuel Sicart and Christophe Vigne climbed the 500-meter south face of Ocshapalca directly to the West Top on August 17, 1995, encountering sections of 80- to 90-degree ice, which they rated TD+. They were benighted before reaching the summit and, having reached the end of the difficulties but not the top of the mountain, rapped the route. (High Mountain Sports 166)
