Cordón de Granito

CORDÓN GRANITO

In the 90´s Waldo Farías and Pablo Besser put up 3 routes in this remote and unknown area. Pablo recently published the routes in www.Andeshandbook.cl, with a very detailed discription of how to get there and the excellent pictures of Waldo. Activity came back to Cordón Granito in 2004: 20 new routes have been put up. See summary of activity…

Las paredes del cordón Granito. Son zonas bastante cercanas, desde Rancagua se avanza hacia el Sur y se accede al Cordón Granito y de San Fernando se avanza hacia el Norte y se accede al Brujo; por el glaciar Universidad la verdad es que quedan bastante cerca. No se alcanza a ver, pero hacia la izquierda está un precioso cerro, que casi nadie conoce, que se llama cerro Doctor Hernán Cruz….. patagonia trasladada a la zona central…. granito perfecto y cascadas de hielo. (Waldo Farías)
