Andrew, Matthew and I just came down from the Valle Cochamo. It is a spectacular valley with giant granite domes of rock that look like they may have been transplanted from Yosemite. Our objective was a big wall on Cerro Trinidad, however the Patagonian weather did not cooperate. We attempted a 6 pitch climb instead (No Hay Hoyes 5.11), but still had to bail after 3 pitches due to rain. Thankfully there is a severely overhanging wall near the valley floor that stays dry in the rain and has decent sport climbing. So, we got some cragging in instead of looking for ways to kill time around base-camp. We also got to hang around the Refugio and met some great people!
I hope to update more on this leg of the trip with details, pictures , and videos; but for now we are off to Torres del Paine.
