Monday: This morning we hike down to Río Fitz Roy and follow the river up to Laguna Torre at 2,164’ at the base of Cerro Torre (you have the option to admire the view from the Fitz Roy valley). Cerro Torre is one of the most difficult mountains in the world to climb because of its vertical walls topped by an overhanging mushroom of ice. With some luck it will be clear to see Cerro Torre; note that the vertical east granite face of Cerro Torre is over 7,000 feet (twice as high as Yosemite’s El Capitan). The hike continues through Laguna Madre e Hija and descends to El Chaltén. Overnight in our familiar lodge.
Overnight: Hosteria Kalenshen.
Meals: B, L, D.
Today's hike: About 9 miles or 6 hours, plus additional options if you want to make it longer.
