'''2nd part : Rio Bravo and the pass'''
We thought that the worst was behind but we had more strong weather conditions in this part. A few advises : - For for the rivercrossings of the Rio Bravo : I would advise NOT to follow the GPS tracks or that follow the normal trail on GPS devices, (that are is made normally for horses). All the locals (local guides in villa o higgins, Ruben, Carmen and Ringo) were agreed with following and told us all to follow the east side of the Rio UNTIL the Laguna. The crossing here is very safe, the rio not strong nor profund at all, and you have to cross it ONLY ONCE, instead of 4 or 5 (dont remember).
To stay on the east side, there is a little cross country by the forest, a little bit technical and slow but not dangerous, and you can camp at the laguna on the east side.
We (very badly ) passed by the normal way at the end of the day (really bad weather, really bad decisions !) and the rivercrossings (3 I think) were, for me, very dangerous with strong current in profund water, but there was a lot of rain and wind, so I wont judge during good conditions. I was very angry at me though to not have listened to the locals and taken all those risks.
For the pass, not very difficult, but we had (again) very strong weather conditions with even snow, and finished at the camp at the north side completely frozen. Know that it can be very exposed !
