The highest peak in the Sierras chicas, near Capilla del Monte; the Cerro de Uriturco.

From Wiki:

Since 1986 the Uritorco has been mentioned in media reports of UFO sightings, extraterrestrial visits, and visions of “parallel dimensions”. The nearby Capilla del Monte and the base of the Uritorco attract many New Age supporters and tourists interested in the alleged mystical/energetic qualities of the mountain and other paranormal phenomena, and a local artisan industry has developed around this topic.

I care about mountaineering about the same amount as raising pigs, so this book was not the first one to pick up. A bunch of people bounced up the second highest peak in the Himalaya didn’t seem much for a story

But to the credit of the author I really enjoyed this one and finished it quickly. A group from different expeditions and countries is climbing one of the most challenging peaks in the world. A place where many people have died before. It succesfully details the climbers, their mentality, the risks they take and the lifes they live. Strong reaccount of a climb, the accidents and what happens to the human body on such high peaks.
