I climbed Cerro de la Silla in October 2004, and when I did, I was told by my guide that the peak was approximately 1800m high. However, when I searched online, all I found were sources saying 1575m. I'm wondering if they are quoting the height of the peak with the antena, whereas I climbed the northern peak (known as pico norte). If anyone has info on this, please update this. Thanks --Spangineer 01:19, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

SummitPost.org says 1820 m for the highest peak. RedWolf 03:33, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Formation myth

There is a rather funny story on how it was formed. It says that someone a long time ago, while hiking, dropped a coin near the summit. Desperate, he dug out the saddle shape from el cerro trying to find it.
