Cerro Castillo

While in Coyhaique we decided to try and climb Cerro Castillo. It was a three day trip and we had pretty good weather for it. When we got up to the couloir we needed to take to get to the top we were breaking and the bottom of it and while sitting there a bowling bowl size rock came flying out of the couloir. We watched it some more and saw more rock fall so we decided to try a different couloir. We ended up topping out and not able to get to the summit from where we were. It was a fun climb and we had some great views.
