Description

Ala Izquierda or “the left wing” of the condor sits just to the left of the Cabeza de cóndor when looking from base camp. It’s impressive south face is the main attraction sporting a good many routes of about 1600 feet or 500 meters.

Getting There

Approach about 2 hours from base camp up steep and shitty but obvious scree slopes just left of the main icefall below the cabeza de condor. This will bring you to the high camp which is a nice flat dirt spot for about 4 tents.

There is a trail up the scree and occasional rescue bolts highlighted in yellow on the rock walls above the scree trail marking the way. Don’t worry the scree is loose third class at most. From high camp traverse directly across the glacier to the base of ala izquierda. This section is easy walking and easy route-finding across a flat glacier.
