This route is on the southern end of the Chaltén Massif consisting of 40 miles, 10k ft of vert, 2 tyrolean traverses, and 3 fixed ropes, through beautiful terrain in the Patagonian backcountry. Talking with local friends, I believed the crux for me would be navigation since this would be my first time on the route. The off-trail sections are quite short from a distance perspective but, due to the receding glacier, there is a lot of fresh moraine and exposed small cliff bands. Unsurprisingly, I made my first of a couple significant nav errors around the glacier section by dropping too close to the terminal moraine and had to scramble up a loose, icy 3-4 class cliff band or risk losing +30min going back. I arrived back at Centro de Visitantes Guardaparque Ceferino with a stellar view of the Fitz Roy group at 3:28pm with a time of 9hrs 18min, just over 4 hours faster than the previous women's time of 13hrs 24min. I hoped to get the men’s record which would mean besting Diego’s impressive time of 7hrs 58min but the navigation proved too challenging. I think this route could go very fast with route knowledge and a lot faster with support!!
