Cy, somehow you missed this one (or I missed your post).
Chad Kellogg solo'd the south face:

I also re-discovered an interesting but tragic bit of American alpine climbing history pertaining to Aconcagua's South face, in fact, the following article (or similar one about the same tragedy) first kindled my interest in this mountain back in the early '80s:

Lynn Hill describes this same climb in "Climbing Free", but not in as much detail.
