The climb seems almost as hard as winning the Wenatchee School Bonds. I admire your stamina to go so high. Argentine mountains are world class bad ones. Ben John: Nice summary.

For the information of others, the Polish Direct route goes right up the Polish Glacier, which is a steep technical climb that goes right to the summit for the last 4000 feet. We camped at the base of the Polish Glacier for 2 days as we worked our way to the summit. We watched two groups attempt to summit via this route. A group of four Italians progressed about half way up in 5 hours and gave up. I believe they reached the summit via the normal route a couple of days later. Another team of two climbers appeared to reach the summit via the Polish direct route that same day in about 7 hours. The Polish direct looked like a very tough route. The summit shot is at a very high altitude and makes for a long day! To answer Cathy Gibson’s question…
