During the dry winter season of 2013, Argentines José Bonacalza, Ian Schwer, and Julián Fehrmann opened a number of new routes in Tierra del Fuego, outside the city of Ushuaia, Chile. On July 14 they established a new route on the south face of the well-known Monte Olivia (1,318m), which they called Eslabón de Lujo (190m, M5). On July 21 they made the first ascent of Monte Toun, calling their route Castorcitis (250m, M4/M5). On July 24 they climbed a new route on the east face of Cerro Cinco Hermanos (1,280m), called Pinguinos Voladores (150m, M5). And, lastly, on July 29, they climbed a new route on the southwest face of Torre del Pingui, which is located in the Torres del Rino group. They called this route Viaje Completo (230m, 50º M3).
