They reached the summit at 2 pm, (2675 meters) then descend the West Face making a second bivy in the valley of Estero Parada before finally making it back to Via Cerro Castillo on October 9th, 2008.
Cerro Castillo National Reserve in Chilean Patagonia is located about two hours from Coyhaique, Chile.
