In the last few years a dirt road has been gradually pushed to the sea thru the virgin rain forests of the magnificent Exploradores Valley in Chilean Patagonia. I first visited the granite part of this area several years ago when I explored a previously untouched side valley culminating in discovering a beautiful small glacier which I named Ventisquero Angela after my wife.
I went back that year with Angela and a young Friend Weston Boyles for some more exploration.
Angela and I made a couple of trips this year into the Exploradores
The next series of photos are some of the sights in the Exploradores.
Three weeks ago three friends from the AAC (Doug Beall. Clark Gearhardt, and Keegan Young) came to visit resulting in a revisit to the Ventisquero Angela area. No trail, you have to earn your way in.
Time was short and we didn't get the window to do this hidden, moderate but UNCLIMBED peak.
Once you tag the summit you can set your sights on the excellent granite comprising the yet unnamed peaks's north face.
A few pics of some of the other unclimbed rock that needs serious attention.
That's it for this season but I can assure you that next year granite cracks are on the menu.
We can't wait to get back down and renew are relationship with Stumpy the one legged Southern Crested Caracarra who adopted us.
