==Season 2023/24==
*2024-Feb-25 to 2024-March-4 / 7.5 days / SOBO / RR / Matthias de Austria
No snowfiels, almost no Tabanos.
Plenty of water, lots of unmarked streams.
Lots of dirt roads and paths veeery dusty.
Fordings: all very easy except Rio Nuble and second ford of Rio xx. Crossed Nuble at ford 23.7, did not scout. It was deeper then it looked and for a meter or so I (187cm, 100kg) had a little fighting with the current. It was the first somewhat serious ford in my life. Got my undies a bit washed.
Camps: 1st shortly after the bridge at puente el ingles in the sand. Nice swimming next to it, but no morning sun until noon.
Lots of blackberries along RR Rio Los Sauces.
Long boring road, but hitch until police station shortly after ford 12.2km. Police friendly, wants passport, detail plans and phone number in case of emergency.
Gate at -36.81995,-71.25333, entry forbidden sign. easy to climb.
Combined Dection 7 and 8, in total xx days. Run out of food the last few days and had to restrict to one portion per day, which made me even slower due to lack of energy. But it was totally worth it. Still have way too much body fat. Last ridge one of the most beautiful parts of the GPT, stunning views and diverse path.
