Polish Glacier
Ascending the deep pass of river Vacas and Relinchos where you will find lots of water courses with wood enough you arrive at the base camp "Plaza Argentina", "Plaza de Mulas Superior" (4.100 m). From the base camp you ascend in direction West-North-West by serius slopes up to 4.700 m. Passed the big outerop rock you can put up camp 1. Then you. go on in the same direction and will come to Portezuelo Ameghino (5.300 m). You go on South West direction, ascending by the North of Westcrest until you arrive at 5.800 m. Approximately this is the beginning of the Polish Glacier and there you may put up camp 3. Once on the glacier you do not leave it until you arrive at 6.500 m. Very close to the board and in a place protected by the rocks, you find camp 4, named "Piedra Bandera". To make the top it is convenient to camp at 6.700 m. The distance. from Punta de Vacas to the base camp is approximately 60 kin. Since access is fairly easy many expeditions get to the base of the Polish Glacier either through the Northwest route or the Normal route, departing from the refuges installed at 6.000 m.
