The picture showed is from Cerro Lomas Blancas. The San Bernardo appears in the picture at right, in first term.

Re: An error

Possible only if I climbed Lomas Blancas thinking it was San Bernardo !!!
More seriously, if it was from LB, wouldn't the camera and Franke summit be lined up rather with Las Veguitas camp instead of being lined up with Piedra Grande camp as its almost the case in this picture ? In this case, Las Veguitas camp is outside the picture to the left.
"at right, in first term", what we see is the ridge leading to Stepanek summit, just before A. Calle summit.
But no doubt, there are similarities between SB and LB and confusing is easy.
