Nevado Caraz I, Dos Gringos to summit cornices. On July 13, 2006, Slovenians Rok Stubelj and Arcon Jernej climbed the south face, to the right of the West Ridge, of Nevado Caraz I (6,025m), to directly beneath the summit. In nine hours they reached the summit cornices, which prevented them from reaching the West Ridge. They took six hours to descend in 15 rappels. They named what they climbed Dos Gringos (800m, TD 90° [max] 55°-65° [avg]).
