In late November, Raimundo De Andraca, Antonio Eguiguren, Sebastían Rojas, Nicolás Valderrama, and Galo Viguera climbed Monte San Valentín (4,058m) and then made a ski descent of the steep south face. Their 1,300m descent followed the general line of the Bertoncejl-Lantschner-Pangerc (1952) route, and was completed in highly variable conditions, with one 60m rappel on the lower face. The full outing took six days round-trip.
