Don't go here! We set out to...

Don't go here! We set out to climb Ishinca by the route going straight for the Col, as this was described in one of the Spanish-language guidebooks. It looks like a simple scree-climb, and there are tracks that you can see close to the col. It some point, it becomes more of a scramble, but an easy one. The problem for us was a steady stream of rocks. I was out of the scree-field to find a easier route, when a meter-size rock comes whoosing down the route, hitting an outcrop and exploding in a rain of small rocks, just where we had been five minutes earlier. The real route goes closer to Ranrapalca, so if you just blindly follow the tracks rather than guidebooks and maps, you'll be OK.
