| fubar7500 | Route Climbed: normal Date Climbed: Dec 18, 2011 | |
| Our climb of Cerro Plata started at 06:00 in the morning in the campo La Hollada (4600m). Lot of snow in the walley but 2 groups of argentian soldiers (each of 20 people) started the ascend at 02:00. Clear sky, not so strong wind. Me and my friend took over the soldiers in the saddle (cca 5100m). They were twrribly slow and too tired even to cooperate in leading the way to summit in new snow (40cm), refusing to go first...It was wonderful day, beautiful mountain, unfortunately without clear or easy path and no chance for us to climb it and descend on time to the walley back to our friends. At 12:00 we decided to return back at the level at cca 5500m (as we planned to descend this day to Vallecitos). No disapointment, the Plato Rincon area is amazing, not overcrowded and also perfect for aclimatization. Moving to Aconcagua now.. | |

| monkeypike | Normal Route from El Salto  Date Climbed: Apr 25, 2010 | |
| A cold but relatively unwindy summit day. We managed to get a bent tent pole from the crazy strong winds that lasted 30 mins one evening at Las Veguitas. The waterfall at El Salto was frozen almost entirely except for a few trickles between midday and 1400 on the 3 days that we spent there. http://pikesonhikes.blogspot.com/2010/05/cordon-del-plata-mendoza-province.html | ||

| The normal route offers lots of walking and no climbing, but excellent views. The crashed helicopter is an interesting diversion. The east face looks like it might offer an interesting route of comparable difficulty and length with Mercedario. | |

| Wonderful view, technically easy, but high enough to be very tough | |

| It was a long hike up, and a very strong wind greeted us at the Portazuelo (around 80Km/h maybe). Very chilly, and cloudy. The view from the top was not very rewarding because of this, but the satisfaction of having reached the summit was certainly worth the effort. | |
