Description

This 3-day Trad climbing program in Frey will take you to one of Patagonia’s rock climbing meccas!

Bariloche is one of the most popular spots in the Argentinian Patagonia. It’s surrounded by mountains, lakes and forest to the west, while the landscape changes completely to the east, where the more deserted scenery dominates. This gives the place a wide range of outdoor activities to practice.

The Frey mountain hut, or just Frey, as it’s known, is located on the south of the Cerro Catedral. It can be reached after an easy 3 or 4 hours hike and it is a paradise for rock climbing lovers. There are some many different routes for every level, skill and wishes that a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to climb them all!

But I know quite a bunch of them and I’ll be happy to show you around!

We’ll start the trip early in the morning, hiking from Cerro Catedral ski resort base to the Frey mountain hut through an amazing trail. Once settled in the hut we’ll prepare the technical gear and get ready to climb in the afternoon. I usually pick the emblematic Frey Needle on the first day, because it’s the closest to the mountain hut and it has many routes to chose from.

And on the next couple of days we’ll head for the Principal Tower, which has an amazing view of the surroundings, and we’ll let the final approach for you to decide once we’re there.

So send me a request to book this 3-day Trad climbing program in Frey and I guarantee you’ll have one of the best rock climbing experience of your life!

And if you don’t feel ready for it and prefer to pick a more basic rock climbing course, please check my Sport climbing course for beginners in Bariloche.
