Congratulations for your fast climb on the normal route in "La Esfinge"!!
I will climb the same route in july this year, but i´m absolutely not in a rush, don´t worry, i won´t beat your time. I´ll do it in two days with another girlfriend from Ecuador
Can you give me some info about the route, the grading, and any other useful comment (kind of protection, material).
Few climbs of Cruz del Sur this year (2003). one by Aymeric Clouet, Christophe Dumarest and Didier Jourdain. They climbed it in one day and totally on sight, in 10 hours. "A great climb, a great pleasure, not so hard than expected but still a serious climb ..."

Climbed the Original Route a few weeks ago, and though our team were by no means the fastest (11 hours), there was a "slow" ascent in 6 hours while we were there and as we were leaving a team set off in the hope of doing it in 3.5-4 hours, which I am sure they were capable of doing.
