Featured Route For Argentina
The West Face of St. Exupery. Last Gringos climbs near the right skyline.

Last Gringos Standing 5.10+  International : Patagonia
This is an excellent crack route with lots of quality hand jamming. The crux is a thin corner on pitch 6 which has not yet been freed due to icy cracks. The first 8 pitches are sustained 5.10 cracks linked together with a 5.9 black dike traverse between crack systems. The route then joins the Austrian Ridge for 300m to the summit.See the American Alpine Journal 2008 for Jesse's description....[more]   Browse More Classics in International
