Abseiling on ice wall on Cerro Morado Central Andes Chile

---

Cerro Morado 4647 m (15246 ft): Next to the two large volcanoes Marmolejo and San Jose the best-known peak in the region, mainly due to its impressive south face. The normal route avoids the steep south side and goes up the back side, still involving exposed climbing, 50° snow/ice and crevasses. The south face route of César Vásquez y Juan Tangol (1961 FA) through the south face demands greater abilites - alpine trad climbing up to rock/55° ice.
