Route and Maps for the Munro
Copiapo to Laguna Santa Rosa
We start in Copiapo and on the same day we drive up to a small oasis at 3000m. In this Oasis we spend one night and a day, during this time we recharge the car.
Laguna Santa Rosa to Laguna Verde
At Laguna Santa Rosa we spend a night. From here we drive on a big plateau to get back to the Routa 31, this road brings us up to Laguna Verde.
Laguna Verde to Tejos
The way from Laguna Verde to Tejos needs because of the altitude a couple of intermediate steps... The "road" between Murray and Tejos need at least some kind of "maintenance" work....
Refugio Tejos to maximum height via Refugio Amistad
From Tejos up we need the winch!
Rocky Channel
From Tejos we still have a way up to 5850m. This way up is quite ok for every car which it managed it so far. At 5850m is a small plateau which will be our camp for the last preparations like set up Ankerpoints on some rocks. Or move other rocks. We will need around 3 day's to be ready for this first big key point. We need to bring everything we need, inclusive photovoltaic, water and food for 8 day's with the car. Normally it take's one day to bring the car and equipment up to Amistad 6100m.
record attempt slope with snow
Here you can see 3 different route's up to Polacos 2. The RED route is the most possible to try, because there should be some ankerpoints for the winch. And maybe not even need a winch on the last meters.... The GREEN route is a alternative if we find proper ankerpoints for the Winch.. The BLUE route end's short before 6700m....
