*6 to 7 of March 2023 / Will / Laguna Toro out and back
This is a tough one, I didn't make it. I waited out a few rainy days in town until the park office told me we had a good two day window.
I spent the first night at Laguna Toro. Be careful of mice there. Quite a bit of rain and snow, but still too warm for the snow to stay on the ground. The next day we (25 or so tourists) set out to attempt the pass.
I crossed the river on foot right by the zip line, the water was below my knees at noon. Painfully cold though. I climbed up until I got a view of the first glacier at which point the wind was too strong for me to trust my footing. I went back to the first camp planning to wait and try again the next day.
Just after setting up the wind tore down a big green tree branch, which crushed and ripped my tent. Thankfully I wasn't inside. Walked back to El Chaltén in defeat.
I guess that's the end of my GPT hike. It's been amazing, other than the miserable weather down here in the south!
*21 to 24 of February 2023 / Véronica & Zach / GPT40 RR counter clockwise / 4 days
