Condoriri and its 2 outlying peaks, the left and right ‘wings’ have a good number of snow and ice routes between them. The South West Ridge of the Cabeza de Condor (head of the Condor) is a classic ridge climb well worth the effort. Access is generally from the Laguna Chiar Khota base camp. There is a much more remote base camp at the Laguna over the Pico Austria pass that also gives access to all but the Ala Derecha gullies.
