History. The name refers to a term used in this area to describe climbing a whole lot: "tearing a tower or peak apart" Freddie Wilkinson came up with it and Colin Haley popularized it.

Approach. Glaciar Marconi.

Gear. Doubles to #3, one #4, TCUs, Stoppers.

Descent. Rap Pilar Canino. The upper rappels required placing pieces because they overhang so much.
