Alpine Climbing Tour in "Aguja de la S", Patagonia, Argentina

Take on the challenge of ascending the impressive peak of "Aguja de la S" in the Argentine Patagonia. This striking, needle-shaped formation stands at an outstanding height of 2,801 meters, and offers several routes that will put your skills to the test. This proving ground is the ideal destination for adventure-seekers looking to hone their technical skills and knowledge in alpine climbing.

Our journey to the summit of Aguja de la S commences after a brief meeting in El Chalten to check our equipment and cover any last-minute details. We'll begin by trekking for around two hours until we reach Campo Poicenot. From there, we'll cross the Rio Blanco river to reach the Laguna Sucia lagoon, walk along its border, and continue on across glacial tills. Finally, we'll arrive at Cueva de Pedro Lutti, where we'll set up camp and rest for the night.

We'll start to make our way towards the towering needle at the crack of dawn. Our first destination is the Rio Blanco glacier and, once there, we'll begin ascent. You'll face steep snow slopes, icy paths and tricky terrain as we reach the first rock pitches. Given that the climbing routes are not pre-fitted, we'll be required to set up our own safety gear and move forward accordingly.

As you ascend the peak, the beauty of the surrounding landscape becomes more and more breathtaking, making the climb a truly unforgettable experience. Bask in the glory of conquering this challenging course once you reach the summit, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the mesmerizing Argentine Patagonia and the stunning snow-capped peaks that surround it.

We will rappel down to the glacier for our final descent and follow the same path back to the cave. After making our final preparations, we'll head back to the starting point of our unforgettable trip.

Ascending the towering Aguja de la S needle requires not only good physical condition, but also technical knowledge and experience in mountaineering. It's an arduous journey, but if you're up to the challenge, you'll be able to discover the incredible Andes mountain range in a way you've never experienced before.
