Beauty of the Patagonian Forest to Refugio Piedra del Fraile. The forest is a tangled mass of broken, twisted & torn trees. There are natural open glades though that let the sunlight through. It's bea...

Examples today of lenticular clouds over the Cerro Torre & Fitzroy. They appear to be moving real slow but in fact signal very high winds speeds. Nice to see the very summit of Cerro Torre itself appe...

The summits of Cerros Torre, Egger and Standhardt. If you zoom in you can just see a very small patch of snow on the upper headwall that still contains the infamous compressor used by Maestri in 1970
