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.

Day 1: Rock Climbing in El Chaltén

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.

About the guide

Matias

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.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
