Caro North – First Ascents in Minialaska
At the start of the year, the Mammut Pro Team athlete Caro North swapped freezing conditions in Europe for the Argentinian summer. Just two hours from the famous climbing area of Frey, she and her friends discovered an almost untouched climbers’ paradise. Take a look at the video and read Caro’s report here in the blog.
December 31, 2017, making our way over cracks and ridges, we climbed awesome granite into uncharted terrain. Nobody had ever climbed these lines before, despite the fact that they were just two hours from the Refugio Frey, one of Argentina’s best-known climbing areas. We managed to open four new lines that day, just a fraction of the potential still waiting to be explored here. I could hardly believe it, as it's now impossible to find valleys like these with so many unclimbed routes in Europe. There is just one route, dating back to 1993, on one of the many rock stacks, the rest of the terrain is unclimbed.
