1. Lüthi-Bresba

700m 6b C1 50º

Horacio Bresba (Argentina) and Pedro Lüthi (Switzerland), 3-4/3/1989.

Description. Climb mixed ground for eight pitches to reach the base of a big dihedral. Cracks on the right face of the dihedral (four pitches) lead to a traverse left, onto the north face (six pitches). Climb the right of two obvious chimneys (three pitches) to the ridge. Two more pitches involving two pendulums get you to the summit. The rock at times is sandy.

History. Bresba and Lüthi’s was the first ascent of the main summit. They made one bivy while descending. Eduardo Brenner and Pedro Friedrich had attempted this line in 1986, getting to a point 100 meters from the summit.

Approach. Niponino.

Descent. Via the same route. The first ascentionists downclimbed the last two pitches then made 18 rappels.
