Las Rodillas chute

Red: The shortcut descent route from the ruins of Dr Luis Mendez hut, bypassing the class 3+ rocky spine of the ridge of Rodillas on the glissadable scree.

To get into the chute from the ruined shelter, drop off the ridge to the right (West) and keep angling down and to the right, until the coloir opens below you. Below the major rock band, the left side of the gully opens and one should exit the coloir for a downward traverse to the left to Grupo de los Cien hut.

The ascent route to the Rodillas roughly follows the blue arrow up the sandy scree, then along the crest or its left (West) side.
