Rock climbing full day near El Chaltén

Climbing in El Chaltén means much more than climbing on Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. Few minutes from the city there are several sport and traditional climbing routes for all levels.

That is why I would like to invite you to enjoy and learn the basic and / or advanced concepts of this activity in El Chaltén. It will be a nice rock climbing day full of energy and adrenaline!
 
I will help you find different types of routes in the vicinity of El Chaltén. For those who prefer sport climbing I can guide you on routes with fixed bolts.

And if you’d rather traditional climbing we can go for more challenging itineraries. In addition, during this full rock climbing day I will teach you some theoretical concepts that you will then put into practice on real walls.

Please find here below the content that you’ll learn or improve during this trip:
