south glacier route
Normal South glacier route climbed in 5 hrs. Camp set up on the plateau at 5996m. a very nice snow climb (crampons used from 6030 m up to the summit), slopes around 20/30 degrees. Summit is a long ridge with (probably) highest point being the western extremity (451.2 hpa measured as atmospheric pression on the top), though a top in the middle of the ridge sems practically as high. 1h30 to go down. Nice view.

Fresh snow on 3+
We approached the route on bike from Paso San Francisco. It was an easy climb on fresh snow from our high camp on the col to the summit in 3 hours. We walked the entire summit ridge to ensure that we had summitted but we couldn't find the Banco de Chile box buried in the snow.

Wow !
5 hours after leaving high camp (5950m), I reached the summit of Tres Cruces Central, during my "Tres Cruces, Tres Cumbres" solo expedition. I climbed it from the south west side, mostly on rocks. The last part of the climb is a steep snow field. The view from the summit is wonderful, especialy over Tres Cruces Norte and its beautiful laguna (in its crater). I went back down descending the huge snow fields, more on the East.
