| Fabrice.Rimlinger | Almost there Date Climbed: Dec 6, 2008 | |
| Incahuasi was part of the acclimation trip to Pissis w/ expedition "Puna Argentina 2008". after 3 days at las Grutas, we did : D1 - BC 4700 --> C1 5000 D2 - C1 5000 --> C2 5700 (too high step for me, woke up weak w/ high eye pressure) D3 - C2 5700 --> 6100 @ 11 AM, in front of Incahuasi Chico. --> pickup @ 18h by Diego Sanchez from Andes Catamarca and down to Fiambala. Great weather. Very few penitentes at 5700m. Strong to moderate winds everyday. Amazing views. | |

| Andino | East side - failed Date Climbed: Mar 1, 2007 | |
| Because of extreme wind, we decided to go for the east side route. We got droppped at 5050m by Marcello Brandan (guide from Catamarca) with his 4x4. We then walked up to 5400m to build a nice platform and put the tent (GPS : 27° 1'23.65"S - 68°16'16.08"O) Strong wind all night, we had to wait until daylight to start. We gave up at 6000m at 11am, too late to summit and walk down. | |

| gnome | Route Climbed: East Side (Volcancitos) Date Climbed: 13 December 2006 | |
| I was there with Fernando Affentranger´s expe. I did not summit and had to stop at 6408m on the plateau. From this side of the volcano, we had some steep passages under the plateau (approx 200m). We came from Las Grutas refugio. First day : Las Grutas (4000m) - Camp 1 (5000m) between the volcancitos and Incahuasi. Second day : Camp 1 - Camp 2 (5700m), at the col between Incahuasi and sub peak. Third day : Summit day for Fernando, Andy and Robert. and going down to approx 4500m to meet the 4x4, then going back to las Grutas and finally to Fiambala... | |

| Bergrot | Route Climbed: East Side Date Climbed: 13 Dec 2005 | |
| I climbed the summit during the "Caminos en los Andes Expedition" with six friends from Argentina, France, Scotland and Switzerland. I arrived on the summit together with Fernando and Andy. Unfortunately I overlooked the Inca ruins that we passed. Close to the summit we detected a weak sulfur odor. From the summit we had an unexpected deep view to the crater. The GPS showed an altitude of 6638m. The main problem at Incahuasi is the absence of snow. The first snow we had to cross at 5800m. So carry enough water from your starting point. | |

| Nadios | Route Climbed: Cordoba/Spanish - North couloir - North Ridge Date Climbed: March 19 2005 | |
| Difficulties to choose route. Stopped by rockfalls and too steep, rotten rock below the first plateau. Changed route. Went to north ridge by a steep, but short snow climb. Easy access from this ridge. 1 hour over the plateau to summit. Very good weather. | |
