On the south face of the west ridge, Kiff Alcocer and Jordon Griffler climbed a 15 pitch new route that they christened GBU-57A. After 12 pitches it joins briefly the west ridge, to then head left, climbing a squeeze chimney and two more pitches to join the Anglo-American. The rock is of decent quality, although at times a bit gritty. They left no gear in place, but found a few bolts at the belays of the first pitches from an attempt by Juan Raselli and Simon Brun in 2013, who climbed the first six pitches. The name refers to a bunker buster bomb.

More photos from our outing during the last weather window. We have decided to name our traverse (which consisted mostly of previously-climbed terrain) the “Crystal Castles Traverse.” Or, more accurately, I really liked the name, and Alex was OK with it. The name alludes to the fact that these peaks (castles!) are all pretty alpine and icy compared to lots of the classic Chaltén itineraries. Photo 1: Alex climbing the South Face of Cerro Pollone. Behind is Piergiorgio, with our route of ascent (“Esperando la Cumbre”) facing the camera. Photo 2: Alex rappelling the South Face of Cerro Pollone. Photo 3: Alex down-climbing the South Face of Cerro Pollone. Photo 4: Dental hygiene was a top priority while bivouacking at the Pollone-Piergiorgio col. Photo 5: Alex on Esperando la Cumbre. Photo 6: Myself on Esperando la Cumbre. Photo 7: Myself climbing up to the Piergiorgio-Domo-Blanco col. Photo 8: Alex scampering to the summit of Domo Blanco. @patagonia_climb @petzl_official @scarpaspa @totemmt @hard.bar @ El Chaltén
