Thanks Augie, His wife thanked me for making the right choice. He thinks is could be done with rock climbing shoes, but it looked pretty iffy to me. No handholds except ice and the slope was quite steep.
I enjoyed your report Vic. It was a pleassure to share this climbing time with you and my buddies Carla and Hugo from CAMYCAM CLIMBING CLUB of Lima-Peru www.camycam.org. The mountain Solimana is still there waiting for us.
