There has been plenty of activity this season in the Northern Patagonian valley of Cochamo.

It was first 'discovered' almost accidentally in 1997 by British climber Crispin Waddy after a tip-off from a Chilean.Recently, Dominik Angehrn, Tom Holzhauser, Michi and Jvan Tresch put up the longest free route on the walls, when they added a new line to the Roca Grande de la Junta (aka Cerro Capicua).Read the full report by Lindsay Griffin on the BMC Website Diesen Artikel inkl.
