Mount Piltriquitron...
The final phase of this expedition involved 2 weeks of trekking in the Mountains to the South of San Carlos de Bariloche.
We picked up 4 Argentine mountain guides to take us up into the hills and teach us how to survive, how to walk with snowshoes and crampons, how to not fall off the side of the mountain, how to avoid getting caught in an avalanche, how to find your mate who does get caught in an avalanche, how to play ¨quispe¨ when it is too cold to go outside....
On the 2nd day of the trek we climbed Mt Piltriquitron.
This photo was taken at the top.
But there was a total white-out and we couldn´t see a thing.
Apparently I´m standing a couple of feet away from a precipice....
Such is life in the moutains.
