(Richard Writes)
Rest day my arse! We merged three hikes over nine hours, covered about 25km with 1km vertical climb. Toes, feet, knee and hip all complaining. A beer at the end helped.
We got down near the bottom when Reiner noticed his camera was still at the top. There were no volunteers to take the four hour trip back to look for it. Surprise, surprise. Maybe some honest soul will leave it at the police station.
The Cerro Torre is, according to our guide, one of the most technically difficult mountains in the world to climb. One look at this picture should give you the idea. If you look really closely, near the summit, there are two lunatic climbers on the face. We took this pic at 4pm and they looked like they had another 2 hours left before they would get to the top. Half an hour later, the clouds started to cover the peak so it was looking more difficult for them.
Off now to find the largest, juciest steak in Argentina. We found it.
