Has anyone done this hike. Looking around the web there seems to be a lot of very overdramatic posts and videos of “I survived” and “Don’t underestimate the dangers of…” and “the weather could kill you”.
There is even a requirement that you cary a Tyrollean harness so you can zip line across the rivers. And almost every other report says the river upstream is ankle deep and you dont need the zip line.
I am very interested in seeing the South Patagonia Ice field and the area around Fitz Roy. (My days of climbing that beast are 30 years in the rear view mirror – so a nice hike and a good view are what Im looking for)
Is the “Danger” overhyped here? It seems like a lot of people want to make the Vlogs dramatic. I completely understand about Patagonian weather and winds — but beyond that I dont see any real issues here. The trail doesn’t even seem that difficult.
Am I missing something?
