Climbing Fitz Roy 1-on-1 with a local guide in El Chalten (4-5 days)

This climb is definitely not suitable for beginners or intermediate climbers, but for the advanced only. Due to the difficulty of the logistics and the high level of fitness and expertise required, there are only 2 or 3 guides, nowadays, that take clients up to this summit and that I can really recommend. This means that you need to book this trip months in advance. Each guide will take only 1 client. Although this summit is reached in 3/4/5 days only, you need a month (with a guide available for you the whole month) to wait for the perfect weather window. During this month, you will do some practice climbs near town. This is not cheap, it has a cost of about 12.000 USD. If the weather is unsuitable, then the guide will take you up to other fascinating mountains in the area such as Aguja Guillaumet or Aguja Poincenot, and refund you for the price difference if applicable. The route will be chosen by the guide and yourselves, depending on the season you come, the weather and your skill level. The route may be ice, rock, or a mix of both. The best option is super canaleta, MD, it's a big ice crag. The best time to do it is in November and December. Another option, with more rock, is the Afanasieff route. Two pitches of 6b are the hardest part. The best time is January and February. Also, there is a 3rd route, the Argentinean one, but has not been in good condition for some years. A lot of rock and ice and with 3 pitches of 6b.
