El Chalten: 22 - 24 Feb

I´m staying for three nights in the quaint little town of El Chalten under the afternoon shadow of Mnt. Fitzroy (Darwin´s Beagle´s Captain who sailed to with 50km of here) and the infamous Cerro Torre (Mountain Tower) that, for some reason, holds a facination with South African climbers (one of the first ascents was a South African lady).

I´ve just come back from a very good, not strenous, hike to the base of Cerro Torre and its glacier and lake.

OK, stomach is growling, going to the supermercados for some food.
