Aguja Guillaumet, Argentina, 7 Day Guided Climbing

Throughout Patagonia in the Andes of Argentina, there are a number of amazing places to visit. And on this week long adventure I would like to guide you through one of those amazing places: the Aguja Guillaumet.

The Aguja Guillaumet (2,580), is a sensational peak that rises high amidst the Patagonian landscape. It is also an intimidating peak as well. The rocks are jagged, the ice is frigid and the walls are steep. As a result, this trip is reserved for climbers with previous alpine experience.

Our expedition will begin when you land at the airport at El Calafate. Famed for its glorious glacier, the landscape surrounding Calafate is amazing, and you will get to see a lot of it as we take a three hour drive to Chalten, where we will be staying in a hotel for the night. At Chalten, we will venture to nearby crags and spend the second day practising for the climb to come. Following Chalten, we will go to the Rio Electrico bridge and hike to the Piedra Negra camp where we will spend the night. On the fourth day of the trip, we will climb the Aguja Guillaumet. The climb will be tough, and will take approximately 15 hours round trip. After a much needed rest at camp, we will return to Chalten, spend the night, and transfer to El Calafate.

As you can see, this trip gives you the opportunity to enjoy much more than just the sensation climb of Aguja Guillaumet. As a result, you will get to enjoy a memorable experience full of great sights, stunning treks and an absolutely incredible climb. So send me a request and let’s explore a great part of Patagonia.
