A week later, Tomás held an asado at his house. We drank white wine from a honeydew melon and feasted on lamb roasted on a spit over an open fire. A real Patagonian celebration. At the party, André showed us the original report by Italian Armando Aste, who in 1963 had made the first ascent of South Tower by the route that bears his name. The story mentions a hanging bivy at the top of pitch five where he and his partners shared a can of beer. All three of us recalled having seen the rusted beer can stuffed into the back of a crack. On the descent, I had plucked a soft iron piton from a crack and snagged a steel carabiner from another pin. Photos of the expedition show Aste wearing a bandolier of the same pins and carabiners. I was in awe. Having those old pieces of iron in my home in Puerto Natales kindled an interest to learn about those that had passed before me.
East West Ministry Of Rock Crack Windshield
One of the last formations to be climbed in Paine, the twin peaks sit at the very back of Valle Frances and are only seen by climbers who venture high into the valley. El Gemelo Este is the higher of the two peaks, and the Southeast Ridge offers great climbing with short cruxes. Gain the ridge by three pitches of low-angle climbing on the right side of the face, and then scramble for three pitches to the business of four vertical pitches to the summit. Rap to the west into the col between the twins; you should find anchors every 30 meters.
Wewent outside to check on the damage and I saw five vehicles, mine included,damaged by rocks. The windshield and the back window were shattered. The backdoor handle was broken and there was damage to the car body.
Onthe day of the incident, October 9, 2013 at 11 am I was in the school office.Suddenly I heard one of the teachers screaming. She shouted that settlers werecoming towards the school. I went outside right away and saw about 15 settlersoutside the school. They were all masked. I saw them throwing rocks at theschool. I immediately called the Palestinian ministry of education. They threw alot of rocks.
