Needle Guillaumet, face this, new route / new route
In early February, eneko and iker pou @hermanospou opened a new track in the east face of the needle guillaumet. " Attaboy 40!" Scale 400 vertical meters with difficulties of until m7 85 ˚ and 5 +. was open on the day and in free (mixed). There's nothing left of team on the track. The name is in reference to the 40 years that he served iker for ascension. For a repeat need a camalots game, a game of stoppers, two screws and a nail. The descent is done by the guillot or Amy. Happy 40 Iker!

Last Friday New Zealand Alpine Team memberDaniel Joll & Kim Ladiges climbed Cerro Torre's West Face via the Ragni Route. It has been a hard season in Patagonia this year and their ascent was the first of Cerro Torre for the season.

Tad Mccrea and Jonathan Griffin opened down a new road in the east face of huemul hill. "the train I can't stop" was named in tribute to iñaki coussirat. Close since chaltén, but surely it's shorter from bahia tunnel. The end wall has about 400 vertical meters and apart from the last over and a half, the rock is surprisingly good. To reach the upper glacier got to climb several sections, some with rope. A while ago that this face was in the sights of several.
Tad McCrea and Jonathan Griffin have climbed a new route on the east face of Cerro Huemul. "El tren que no puede parar” was christened in memory of Iñaki Coussirat. They approached from Chalten, but it might be easier to approach from Bahia Túnel. The upper headwall is around 400 meters high and except for the last pitch and a half, offers surprisingly good rock. Getting to the upper glacier involves a bit of climbing, some roped. This was a “blank in the map” that was “begging” to be filled.
