Very brief stop in Osorno en route from Bariloche to Valle Cochamo. Don't have time for many stories since we gotta run to the hardward store before it closes, but trust me there are lots of good ones!
 |
| Sunset, with Torre Principal visible (the biggest one, duh) |
 |
| Me starting up La Vieja (see last post!) |
 |
| Just another resting spot... |
 |
| And up the chimney he goes! Interesting second pitch, starting with some great steep 6a+ climbing, but then you just get devoured by that offwidth finish. Woohoo! |
 |
| As I mentioned in the last post, we decided to stay in Bariloche for one night. Unfortunately all the hostels were full (seriously) so we had to get a double in a hotel. What a shame! |
 |
| Campanile Eslovena. Very impressive spire, and almost 200m tall. |
 |
| At the top of 'Campanile Eslovena' with view of the Torre Principal in the background. Taken by our nice Brazilean friends. |
 |
| Third pitch of 'Lost Finger' 6b. AWESOME! (others climbing it after us) |
 |
| Lost Finger again. |
 |
| From the top of Torre Principal, with Monte Tronador and Puntiagudo in the background (you can see to Chile!) |
 |
| From Torre Principal, looking back at the laguna and refugio. |
 |
| A #6 camalot, compared to our largest piece of gear. Pathetic... |
 |
| Hanging out at the refugio. We did lots of this the last few days there! |
 |
| Hiking back down to Bariloche. |
 |
| All the buses to Osorno were sold out, so we stick out our thumbs. Literally the first bus that passed us by picked us up anyway! |
 |
| The only seat left was up in the front with Carlos and Sergio. |
