Evidence (2015-04-12): Jutting a distinguished 3,375 metres into the Patagonian sky, Monte Fitz Roy is one of the regions true icons. Tamed for the first time in 1952 by the French duo of Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone, Fitz Roy still stands tall as an exciting test for climbers and mountaineers. Whether from the logo on their Patagucci keks or from its place in mountaineering folklore, anyone who calls themselves an out-doors-person is familiar with this artistically sculpted lump of rock. Fitz Roy may be relatively small in stature but it’s a behemoth within the confines of alpinism and a super model in the eyes landscape photographers. [...] After a few days my old motto ‘the weather could get worse but will always get better‘ proved itself and our deranged slip from social respectability hit the buffers of a sunny spell of calm weather. Tents were packed and routes chosen as we escaped town and spread ourselves about the northern corner of Los Glaciares National Park. Meeting up in the evenings to camp it became clear we’d all been seduced by the charms of Monte Fitz Roy. A mountain of many moods and faces, it is a peak that’ll be hard to forget. Here are just a handful of the images I have ingrained on my mind from this fun time…

Evidence (2017-12-08): Mount Fitz Roy and the surrounding area is where we spent the next 3 days of our Patagonian adventure.

Chile and Argentina were previously in a border dispute, and Argentina created this town simply to secure this otherwise uninhabited portion of the border. A war never happened, and when Chile and Argentina settled, they agreed to keep El Chalten within Argentina. [...] A steep climb at the end of the hike takes you to the Mount Fitz Roy mountain range, which is astounding to see in person. Mount Fitz Roy is the tallest of the mountains in the range at 3400 m, and is the star of the Argentinian Andes. However, as the unpredictable weather in Patagonia would have it, Mount Fitz Roy spent much of the day hiding behind clouds.

Evidence (2013-11-19): This photo shows one of the best summit views I’ve ever experienced, from atop Cerro Madsen, with a front-and-center view of Monte Fitz Roy, near El Chaltén, Argentina.

This means that I’m looking directly up at a rock monolith towering a vertical mile above me, when I’m already standing on a lofty summit! [...] Here’s another Patagonia photo that I just dug up from the vault. I don’t think alpenglow gets much better than on Monte Fitz Roy in Argentine Patagonia! The peak towers ~8,000 vertical feet from where I was standing at the time. I took this with my trusty old Ricoh GX100, which was my digital supplement to my 4×5 camera on this trip, in November 2007. I still use the camera for snowboarding shots. [...] This shot here is from Laguna de los Tres, one of the beautiful high lakes in Parque Nacional los Glaciares in Argentina. Above the lake towers El Chaltén (aka Monte Fitz Roy) and its lower neighbor Cerro Poincenot. I took this photo with my 4×5 camera in November 2008 during a one month photo trip in Patagonia. I used a polarizer to bring out the turquoise color of the lake under the midday sunlight.
