| Melissa pauses while we contemplate the "squeeze chimney boulder problem" |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Looking down at the 5.11c pitch from the last bolt. Pretty sporty, but then I suck at face.. this pitch demoralized us. |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Waiting for the bus in Cochamo. Of course, he was 30 mins late.. | A pre-climbing meal, Argentina style! |
 |
 |
 |
||
| The highest peak is Refugio Principal, which we climbed that day | The condors are cool birds! |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Past the crux. |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Found a little oasis / stream of nice water on the approach :) | The last pitch to the top of Torre Principal. The technical crux (6b face), but very well protected |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Nice belay perch |

| Goodbye, Frey, we'll miss you! | Melissa coming up Aguja Frey |

| The enchanted forest | The most we saw of Cerro Torre (half of it is in the cloud) | The best view we got of Fitz Roy |
