Unnamed Peak, North Face, Ritacuba Group, Cordillera Oriental. Venezuelans Ricardo Hansen and I climbed on December 26, 1980 for the first time the steep north face of the sharp ice peak immediately south of Alto Ritacuba. Probable height is 5200 meters (c. 17,000 feet). We followed the same approach as for Alto Ritacuba itself. So far as it is known, this peak has no name and it may be P 17,460 ascended in July 1957 by the Cambridge expedition (A.A.J., 1958, page 106).
