Cerro Adela, Patagonia. After exploring for a route on Cerro Torre, Jorge Aikes, Omar Pellegrini and Nestor Monaco placed a camp at the foot of the north-northeast ridge of Cerro Adela (9711 feet). After seven days of constant snowstorms, they set out to place a high camp at 7700
feet, from which they climbed to the summit. Crevasses and soft snow forced them to a slow ascent and they had to bivouac some 500 feet below the top. The following day, March 1, 1967, they ascended to the top in unusual good weather. E v e l io E c h e v a r r ía
