Chile-Argentina, Central Andes
Author: Marcelo Scanu and Gabriel Fava . Climb Year: 2013. Publication Year: 2014.

This fine peak (5,432m) is located near Aconcagua in Argentina’s Central Andes. It was first ascended in 1903 by Countess Nadine Lougonine Von Meyendorff and Alois Pollinger. On October 27, Pablo Busso and Gabriel Fava traveled to the west face to attempt a new route. They established camp at the base. The next day they climbed a new route to the north summit of the mountain (slightly lower than the main summit). The pair named the route Por los Huevos del Hombre Cojo (1,000m, D+ IV M2 65º). There are four additional routes to the right of this route of similar length and difficulty; two of them reach the north summit, and two others reach the central summit.
