Sebastian Pelletti and Javier Reyes climbed a new route on the west face of the Colmillo Oeste. They reached the base via the Valle del Francés and the “gully of the irishmen”, which leads to the col between Aguja de los Quirquinchos and Colmillo Oeste, on the eastern edge of Glaciar de los Perros. This is one of the least visited areas of the park.
