Regional discussion and conditions reports for South America. Please post partners requests and trip plans in the South American Climbing Partners section.
Actually, I ended up on Huandoy Sur (NE Face), but my partner got sick (I'll spare you all the details) and we had to bail from about half way up. I had good views of the NE face route on Norte and it looked in decent shape. I can dig through my photos and send you some if you're interested.
At the same time we were on Sur, I believe 2 Argentines and an American were on the NW Face of Huandoy Norte. I don't know exactly how it went, but I heard second hand that they were holed up in a snow cave for three days on the descent because of the crappy weather in the Blanca this June.
