Cerro Mercenario

Anyone here have climbed it? Want to do it in December, any feedback is welcome.

I was also going to climb Mercendario in December, but had to drop out. My friends are still going. They are not going on a guided tour; just a few climbers getting together for the climb. If you want to contact or might want to join them, here's a message:------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone would care to join us, we are arriving in santiago 1st december, heading up to Volcan Parinacota & Pomerape then down to mercedario for the south face route.

3 climbers confirmed and 2 others still getting their affairs in order.

contact me on dan@fieldtouring.com if you would like more information

Hi Scott, I contacted them, Im fact, Im probably one of the ones "getting my affairs in order". However, it seems Mercedario is a bit too technical for my abbilities right now... :-(

Hi Gabriel,

Did you get in touch with Anibal about other possibilities on Mercedario and the surrounding area?

An alternative could be Volcan Tupungato 6,550m , relatively straight forward and fairly easy to arrange logistical support..
