The weather forecast was marginal - a chance of precipitation throughout the day, medium winds, chilly temps - but seemed ok to at least stroll into the mountains and see how things unfolded. It was mostly sunny (with rain) on the hike in (first pic), but after scrambling up the initial 2k ft buttress it started snowing pretty hard and the winds increased. But by then it seemed easier to finish the hard climbing and descend the East face of de l’S than to climb back down the buttress and walk back out the Torre Valley (which is always a laborious approach). So I wound up climbing very icy cracks in a very windy snow storm and made it to the top. Thankfully the descent was a lot more sheltered and I downclimbed the historic East face down to the glacier and then back to the normal hiking trails. It wound up being a little under 12 hours house to house, which is a pretty awesome way to climb mountains. Something like 7.5k ft of vertical and 24mi of hiking/jogging in and out. What a day! I also just want to acknowledge that Thaw’s not Houlding Wright is one of my favorite route names in Patagonia, put up by my fiends Kevin Thaw, @leo_houlding and @cedarwright. Great route, when it’s not covered in ice...」2月15日 23時40分
