00:00This is Reto Reinal. He is a lawyer. He moved to the province of Mendoza 6 years ago.
00:06He used to live here in Buenos Aires and now he lives in the province of Mendoza.
00:11Last Sunday he was with his friend Samuel.
00:14They are going to climb the Cerro El Plata.
00:19Cerro Plata, specifically.
00:22Samuel reaches the summit.
00:24I say well, who is a few meters below is Fernando.
00:29Quickly, Fernando climbs.
00:33He finally reaches the top.
00:35He meets Samuel.
00:36Samuel says, I'll wait for you below.
00:38He takes some pictures and never returned to the camp.
00:44We are going to greet Cristian Morón, who is working there in Mendoza.
00:47Cristian with Mercedes Mendoza, we assure you.
00:49Good morning 24.
00:53Mercedes, Luis, how are you? The pleasure is to greet you.
00:55Good morning to all.
00:56Well, as our colleague was commenting, this lawyer,
01:00which is not the first time he was doing this type of activity.
01:05He already had experience in previous years.
01:08Well, obviously the question that everyone asks is, what happened to him?
01:11Where is it?
01:12We provide some data of this place because of course it is not a common mountain.
01:17Above all, first of all, because of its height.
01:19They are more than 5,900 meters, which characterizes Cerro El Plata.
01:24It belongs to the Cordón del Plata, precisely for that reason its name.
01:27And it is characterized among other issues that make it difficult for the rescue patrol,
01:31which is at this moment looking for this 44-year-old man.
01:35Why?
01:36A rather particular temperature, obviously classic of high mountains.
01:40But above all, very particular snowfalls and storms.
01:44What do I mean by very particular?
01:45It is a snowfall or a much more intense and harder snow than what we are used to seeing in the plain.
01:51Or even in what we call the high mountain.
01:54In the case of Uspallata, in the case of Potrerillos.
01:57What do I mean by this?
01:59It is practically on the edge of the ice.
02:01So why does this make it difficult to search?
02:03Because when the patrol is walking, they run the risk of slipping or sinking in it.
02:10It is also true that this generates risk for the hiker who is doing the activity there as a mountaineer,
02:16of slipping and falling into the abyss.
02:19So they are a series of important characteristics,
02:22not only to take into account who is going to do the ascent,
02:25but when it comes to trying to search, to do the rescue,
02:29exactly those complexities that the mountain has.
02:33Now, Cristian, I ask you because there was also talk of a girl who was in the middle of the ascent,
02:38that Samuel crosses her, the man who accompanies Fernando on the ascent,
02:44and they ask her, she says she did not see anyone at the top.
02:48Minutes after this woman went up, I think it was Mariana, the man already declared as a witness,
02:55she declares that she never saw him.
02:57Once she arrives at the camp, they cross her, and she says, I did not see anyone at the top.
03:02My question is, do you have any hypothesis, in addition to the one you just mentioned,
03:07that has to do precisely with smooth and flat issues of the soil there in Mendoza?
03:17Look, it is also the question that we all ask ourselves,
03:19because first of all, it is not known or it is not clarified why they separate.
03:23Both he and his friend, who you were mentioning,
03:26he declares that when he was descending, he saw him, and he continues towards the base,
03:31but he stays, when they return, he is no longer there.
03:33Point one, the reason why they separate is not known.
03:36And point two, the disappearance is not understood either,
03:39because normally on these routes, when one is doing a mountain,
03:43there are always stands or shelters,
03:46so that if when one of the members of this group descends,
03:50he has a problem, the authorities are informed,
03:53and in turn the authorities can know what problem he had,
03:57if a physical condition, if a problem for time, then go to the rescue.
04:02In this case, it is not clear or confirmed the place where he is.
04:07It is estimated that it is an area called Upa,
04:10which is a place where there is not so much information,
04:14it is not a well-known place, but then much more is not known,
04:18because as a result of this that I tell you,
04:20not understanding well the reason for that separation with his friend,
04:23it is not known where he could have been lost.
