Torres del Paine is a must see - definitely do the Gran Circuito, and you can work in the 'W' as well if you
allow extra time. The GC is supposed to take 12 days but it can be done in 5 if you're motivated. There
are tour groups and a lot of people at T del P, but I'd still say it's worth it - the scenery is some of the
best I've seen anywhere, and the place is so big that you won't notice the people so much. The GC gets
a lot less traffic than the 'W'. (I did the GC in March.)

I haven't been to Cerro Torre or Fitz Roy, but they look quite spectacular. There's also some stuff worth
doing out of Bariloche - the Cerro Catedral walk is pretty good, starting from the ski resort and finishing in
Colonia Suissa. Takes about 3 days, quite rugged and spectacular. Highlight for me was a close "fly
by" from a condor. It must have decided I didn't look very tasty :-)
