Description

El Chaltén is a rock climber's paradise, offering an incredible range of both sport and traditional climbing routes, from single pitches to challenging multipitches. The best part? You can simply step out the door and pick your perfect sunny spot for a day of sport climbing, or plan a thrilling multipitch adventure after a hike on your first or second day.

I specialize in guiding both beginners and more experienced climbers who want to do more than just enjoy the outdoors—they want to learn, improve, and dive deeper into the craft of climbing. On this program you'll be able to master techniques like progression on the face, leading, belaying, pitch-by-pitch tactics, or rappelling, all on your own pace.

Meet at my place in Chaltén in the morning for a quick briefing. We'll gear up and head out to our first climbing spot. After a couple hours of action, we’ll switch to another location that matches your ability and motivation, taking into account weather conditions too.

Along the way, we'll break for a snack or a quick lunch before tackling a bigger multipitch climb or exploring a new area. It’s all about pushing your limits, learning, and having fun in one of the most incredible places on Earth.

Join me in this iconic proving ground for aspiring rock climbers! Push your limits and leave with the knowledge and confidence to take on new climbing challenges. Let’s make the most of your time here—book your spot, and let the adventure begin!

More info

This activity will last approximately 8 hours. While rock climbing can be physically demanding and requires some skill, especially for beginners, there will be opportunities to rest and relax on the ground after completing each 20-30 meter sport route or pitch. It’s not overly exhausting, but it can be challenging at times.

To get the most out of the experience and learn the basics of rock climbing, participants should have a moderate level of physical fitness and be comfortable hiking or stepping over rocks. A bit of determination is necessary to improve, and those with a fear of heights might find certain aspects of the activity more challenging.

What people are saying about this trip

Vera

Thank you Pedro! It was my first time on the rock and it was amazing experience.

Elliot

Had an amazing day climbing with Pedro. We are experienced climbers who wanted to learn some new skills and we found him super knowledgeable and a really great teacher. He took us up a local multipitch route with amazing views over the town and Mt Fitzroy - an unforgettable experience.

Xenofon

Pedro is the man! His initial reply to my messages was "Hola! Si! Let's go climbing!". I knew he was the right guide! We wanted to spend a day with a guide to learn techniques for multi pitch climbing as we are both comfortable independent single pitch climbers. We met in the morning and went to a close by crag for some basic single pitch routes to get to know eachother. There Pedro taught us how to build safe anchors and how to rapel in preparation for multi pitching. In the afternoon we tackled a 6 pitch route. After the first 2 pitches Pedro let me lead the remaining 4 pitches which gave me the chance for loads of practise. At the end we rapeled down the routes. The beauty of Pedro is that he taught us everything with minimal gear and how to improvise with whats available (e.g. how to build anchors without bolts). What more can i say... Simply the best experience far beyond expectations!! Muchas gracias Pedrito!

Matt

We hired Pedro to take myself and my partner multipitch rock climbing in El Chalten. We had a fantastic time. Pedro’s expert knowledge and experience allowed us to enjoy all the climbing and feel safe and confident on the rock. He provided all the necessary gear and his central location made all the logistics a breeze. We loved his energy, and the conversations and stories we shared. We would definitely hire him again!

Mercedes

I contacted Pedro to try rock climbing for the first time. From his very first reply, he inspires you with the confidence to go for it. It was an incredible experience, with a bonus condor sighting. We did single-pitch, multi-pitch, and rappelling. Pedro is a great person — I felt like I was with a friend.
