Description

Discover the rugged charm of El Chaltén, where world-class climbing crags are just a stone’s throw from your hotel door. Just grab some empanadas for lunch and we´re off!

Start your adventure with a warm-up on the crags in the morning, followed by a multipitch climb in the afternoon at the iconic Paredón de los Cóndores. The most classic line ranks at 120m 6a but there are plenty of easier and also harder routes to choose from.

From the top, you'll discover truly stunning views of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre - rising dramatically above the town. True to its name, the wall often treats climbers to the unforgettable sight of Andean condors soaring nearby.

Join me in a one-of-a-kind, short and gentle journey in Patagonia’s wild and remote beauty!

Day 1: Rock Climbing in El Chaltén

We’ll start with a warm-up sport climbing session in the morning, which helps me assess the group’s skill level and teach some basic techniques. In the afternoon, we’ll tackle a suitable multipitch climb.

Day 2 to 3: Extra climbing days

We’ll follow the same itinerary as the first day, but with new opportunities to explore different sport climbing crags and multipitch routes. There’s enough variety to climb for at least three days without repeating any routes.

Mountain Guide

Born and raised in Bariloche, a major Andean town in northern Patagonia, and now living in El Chaltén, I guess you can call me a Patagonian local.

I'm a passionate mountain climber and obsessed with conditions, weather forecasts and climbing in general. I've been climbing around Chaltén since 2014 and can proudly say to have summited both Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre in the past years.

I've also been guiding in the area since 2017. The biggest feather on my cap is probably having guided Cerro Fitz Roy via the Californian route in 2024 and pioneering an alternate, safer descent line with my guest.

Mati is a wonderful guide! He was able to assess my abilities very quickly and make sure the experiences fit well for me. I learned a lot of new information during my experiences about the areas, safety, and different techniques. I would definitely work with him again in the future.
