PN Torres Del Paine: Rocks

We hiked the big circuit in seven days. Torres has some of the most amazing alpine scenery I've ever seen in the ranges that I've known and loved: Cascades, Sierra, Rockies.

Monte Admirante Nieto. Maybe skiable, but not this aspect...

Los Cuernos del Paine. Cody, has anyone ever enchained them?

From Torres Del Paine

The Torres have to be one of the most incredible escarpments I have ever laid eyes upon. They are like rocketships shooting up from the cirque, so abrupt it's hard to believe. These pictures do them poor justice. You really should try to make it to the mirador some day when there is clear weather. You will hike up a the remains of a moraine for a few hundred meters with little view of anything except the crest of the talus, when suddenly, WHAMMO! The torres.
