Cerro Moai is a Chilean mountain (4,368m, 33º44´29¨ S, 69º58´56¨ W), first ascended in 1964, which had two routes and relatively few ascents. From April 19–21, Mariela Muñoz (German-Chilean), Luis Garrido, and Vicente “Vicho” Gamboa (both Chileans) climbed a new route called Los Porfiados. From a base camp below the mountain, they reached the summit in sevenhours via ice up to 50° and some rock along a ridge. They descended the normal route, which is to the climber’s right of the new line.
