Descripción

Cerro Catedral es considerado por muchos como una de las mejores zonas para la escalada en roca en toda América del Sur. Sus características agujas de granito naranja ofrecen una vista espectacular y única, y brindan oportunidades de escalada de innumerables formas y tamaños. El nombre de “Cerro Catedral” proviene precisamente de este anfiteatro de agujas, que se alzan orgullosas sobre el paisaje.

Este curso introductorio de 4 días está dirigido a aquellos que ya poseen habilidades básicas en escalada deportiva (nivel 5.8, quinto grado francés) y que desean adquirir el conjunto completo de habilidades necesarias para convertirse en un escalador tradicional independiente.

Mientras disfrutas de la singular belleza del Cerro Catedral con sus interminables agujas de granito y el telón de fondo de volcanes cubiertos de nieve y lagos alpinos, aprenderás muchos aspectos del estilo de escalada tradicional. Esto incluye habilidades de movimiento, cómo colocar equipo sólido para protección y construir anclajes a prueba de bombas, para que puedas sentirte cómodo para comenzar a hacer tus propias escaladas independientes.

En este tour, comenzaremos con una caminata de 3-4 horas desde el Centro de Ski Catedral hasta el acogedor Refugio Frey (1700m/5577ft), con sus amigables locales y cálido ambiente. Desde el refugio, tenemos acceso a una gran cantidad de grietas variadas e interesantes, donde podemos practicar una multitud de habilidades y disfrutar escalando en el diverso escenario.

Para alcanzar la cima de las legendarias agujas, escalaremos varias rutas de varios largos y aprovecharemos al máximo todas las oportunidades de aprendizaje, tanto en la subida como en el retorno. ¡En el camino de vuelta, disfrutaremos y perfeccionaremos cómo rapelar!

Después de un día satisfactorio de escalada en roca en las agujas, el Refugio Frey ofrece excelente pizza y vino entre locales amigables y compañeros escaladores, para satisfacernos de otras maneras y prepararnos para las aventuras que esperan al día siguiente.

Reserva este viaje ahora para tener la oportunidad de aprender todo lo que necesitas saber para convertirte en un escalador tradicional independiente, mientras alcanzas la cima de las hermosas agujas de granito color miel del Cerro Catedral.

UIAGM-IFMGA guide in Argentina

I grew up in Buenos Aires to Scottish parents. I was lucky to travel and camp all around this beautiful country hence developing a great passion for the outdoors.

So once I finished my degree in Physical Educacion and also had a Trekking Guide certification (1997), and after spending my summers as a climbing bum up at Frey, I decided Bariloche was the place I wanted to live in.

My passion has allowed me to pursue my dreams of climbing some big walls in Yosemite, the Bugaboos, some faces in the Alps and Dolomites and other closer to here in Brasil, Peru and Bolivia.

I spent a few season working down in Southern Patagonia, El Chalten at the Base of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. Here I learned my skills in dealing with all the minor details of managing groups.

Later when Argentina proudly became part of the IFMGA/UAIGM, I took part in the first course/promotion and got certified as a Technical guide (2005).

I’ve been leading trips with NOLS and Outward Bound for the last decade almost and got to learn the soft skills for personal development which has made my expertise as a Guide a lot richer.

Now settled for sometime in Bariloche with a family (two beautiful daughters Sarah and Camila), I’ve decided to work more and more for myself and directly with potential clients and future friends.

Focusing mainly in tailor made programs specially developed for each individual interest. Backcountry skiing, Mountaineering, Rock cimbing, etc!!!

Looking forward to sharing some great times together!!!

Lo que la gente dice sobre Craig

I didnt choose the optimal time for my trip. Knowing that, I was kinda anxious about how it would turn out, especially when there was really bad weather and snowfall when I arrived in Bariloche. That said, Craig did its best to still make the best out of the situation. We shuffled the dates around and split the 4 days into 2&2. I just came back from the first 2 days and have two more to go, for which I'm very excited. I'm well aware that this kind of shuffling is only possible because it isnt high season yet and am very thankful for that. In terms of the climbing: I communicated my skill level to Craig and my ambition to learn the basics of trad climbing. I think his judgement in planning the itinirary was very sensible. Craig managed to push me way out of my comfort zone without completely overwhelming me. This allowed me to learn a ton in just two days and leave me hungry for more. If you wan't to "learn the ropes" of trad climbing, stick your hands into granite cracks, send the peaks of frey and have a fantastic time doing it, Craig is the guy to book your trip with

Al Borde de la Concordia on Cerro Lopez was a very cool experience for parachuting into a new area far from home. Craig made it seamless, and we had a really good day on some fine rock in a spectacular setting.

Craig is a great guide and even better person. I would recommend him 100 times over for any backcountry adventure in Patagonia.

I used Explore-Share to connect with Craig, local IFMGA Mountain Guide from Bariloche, who took our group of 3 for an amazing day of Ski Touring around his home mountains. I met him the day before to check my equipment and go over what we’d be doing the following day. This was my first time going uphill with skis and Craig was super attentive teaching me all the basic techniques and safety procedures during the first part of the program. I felt safe and in control at all time, and the pace he chose was just right for me. We got to do a whopping 4 climbs and descents that day (with over 1000m of total vertical gain), exploring different sides of the mountain, and I have to say the skiing was just out of this world! We had the whole area to ourselves. I will definitely be hiring Craig again in the future for a climbing, mountaineering or skiing adventure in Patagonia and I would highly recommend him to anybody visiting this area. Thanks Craig!!

Amazing experience with Craig, he brought me and a friend of mine at la ventana to do beginner routes, teaching us how to climb while enjoying breathtaking view. Greatly recommend.
