* Timed our arrival to the Torres for a clear day. Took the ascent and descent (58.5km to 63.4) of the main pass slowly as it was covered in snow between knee to hip-height. Where possible we scrambled on the uncovered boulders to avoid post-holing. Took significant time. Variant D along the glacial lakes was nice, although it may require a bit more scrambling than RR. We met GPT hikers Bailey and Ed going NOBO on our ascent to the pass - a big thank you for the footsteps!
* The view of the Torres from the main Pass [61.9/1314] was great but the best viewpoint for us was from the lake by the Camp [63.4/995].
* After 64km, Kole followed game trail to the right of the river and Em to the left. Both options were boggy, with intermittent trail and lots of blowdowns. Wet feet. Slow going, but not too difficult. Trail was clear and easy to follow after 68.5km. Ran into settler Julio driving cattle shortly thereafter.
* We forded Rio Avellano 100m downstream of 81.2/490, at 46.45791, -72.31714. Very strong current, upper-thigh height, had to cross slowly, but manageable with careful footing.
* Slept on the floor of the refugio in Puerto Avellano. A table, some chairs, and wood burning stove inside. Didn’t notice any pests. There are a few spots for tents behind in the trees, but very wind exposed. Met the settler that lives nearby the following day.
* From the junction with the road [130.4/311] we took Option 11 into Levican and camped behind some bushes with good wind protection. We didn’t find any good spots on 11G. Started the road walk to Puerto Ibanez on the final day, but luckily got a hitch 3km out of town, we rode with them all the way to Coyhaique (he turned out to be Julio’s brother).
