Just back from probably the finest 3 day backpacking trip you could possibly imagine. Mostly just @khusky and I with no others on the trails. Absolutely whacked. Need some time to recover and process...

Another image of Mt Fitzroy and Cerro Poincenot from yesterday's hike. I don't often do portrait aspects but given the scale of the mountain I think this works. Heading off now for a 3 night backpacki...

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...

I know its not nor even , but ... sandwiched between brutal weather alerts for wind and rain, we had a precious half-day window. The target? Chorillo del Salto, a popular waterfall just outside El Cha...

Talk about a lucky day in Patagonia! We were treated to the spectacular sight of not one, but two stunning male Torrent Ducks riding the rapids of the Río Fitzroy. These aren't your average pond ducks...

The Chalten range from near Mirador de los Condores. Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy prominent. Red firebush in the foreground

Greetings from the bottom of the world, where the weather is as predictable as a coin flip and the beer is cheaper than a decent cup of coffee. First, a mission statement. We’re not here to sell you a...

@TimKStanton yeah, full res much better but here is location. Will get better photos when I get closer later in my trip

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
