Climbing and mountaineering ideas for South Americ 12-Nov-2008 At 7:59:52 AM LGJ

Message

I'm counting down the days now...

Cheers for the ideas re Bariloche - I will definately be heading there. I aam travelling with a non-climbing companion though, so am starting to realise more and more that I may not end up doing all that much climbing.

We are thinking of walking the Torres del Paine circuit. But - I know it is a huge tourist trap. I'm sure the views would outweigh most nuisances (maybe), but after recently reading Andrew Lindblades book - I am thinking about other options. Such as - walking around the base camp(s) of Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy.

Can anyone that has been there comment on this? Is it possible to enjoy all the grandeur of the Torres del Paine on paths less travelled?
