Routes in El Chalten

The diehedral at the left end of the wall

The prominent dihedral seen from the national park office. Finishes at piton anchor.

Just to the left of the fence posts at overhung corner, only anchor bolts for TR

Up grungy corner to traverse across hanging slab the up pockets to overhanging black rock and pump it out to anchors

Long pumpy wall right of the undercut cave section.

Crag classic- up steep pocketed arete

Another good pumper.

Primer largo es un 4+ de 15 mts, el segundo largo es un 6a de 15 mts y el 3er largo es un 6a de 20 mts.

Up white wall into overhanging hand crack then hardish moves on wall above

Cool flake.

1m to right of handcrack up overhanging wall on small looking holds

1. 6a

2. 5+

3. 6a+

4. 5

Right-most route - on the grey rock.

Immediately above the bridge there is a routel that starts on white pockets and goes into a L facing corner and later heads out a large roof. Pitch 1: (6a) Up white wall with multiple large huecos into R leaning corner/ ramp. Climb past first set of anchor bolts to anchors at base of arete. Pitch 2 (crux): Up face and right to arete. Belay on ledge atchain anchor. Pitch 3: (6a) Up arete to open corner, trending left to under roof Pitch 4: (5+) Up the right along ledge. Under right side of roof traverse right to belay Pitch 5: (5) Step left into corner and up to anchor. Rappel from here or continue scrambling up and left to plateau and go left to descent gully

Known locally as "the easiest rock climb in El Chalten", at least, it is the easiest multi-pitch. Has been climbed in winter with ice axes and crampons.

From the wooden bridge walk south towards the old orange bridge/flying fox thing. Take first small branch trail you come to, just before the orange flying fox, the track leads to a massive boulder field from significant rockfall, the climb starts just up and right from the debris field.

The climb is recognisable by the large smooth slab comprising the top third which has a right trending diagonal crack with a belay cave half-way.

Apparently no harder than 6a.

To descend, from the final anchor, walk north along the ledge for a few metres to a rap station. It would be awkward to abseil from the final anchor and hit the previous belay due to the diagonal nature of that pitch.

Starts at overhung arete

Starts on wall just right of S

The route on the far right of the wall, with unusual conglomerate holds and pockets. Very well bolted. Tough pumpy anchor clip!

2m left of corner

Route 4m left of the far right route. Hard undercling start to big jug, then easier (but loose) finish up blocky and pockety rock. Doesn't climb very well.

At far left side of slabs, directly in front of east-west road coming past Koonek hostel. 6 bolts up to 2 rings, can scramble off left from top.

5 bolts up to 2 rings, 1st 5m is just a scramble.

Start up chimner and step lft onto thin face. Technical moves to ledge then more easily up slightly overhanging arete

On the slab just left of main Veshcho Wall, 7m left of large thick flake.

5 bolts up to 2 anchors side-by-side (2 fixed hangers, and a fixed hanger + abseil ring).

Diagonally right up scoops and pockets, walk off left.

1m R of EP, up thin face and finger crack.

Start at fence post at left end of main wall. Up past 10 bolts. Crux is getting past the 9th bolt. Previously "Top Rope Problem 2".

On slabs left of main wall. 3m left of large thick flake.

5 bolts up to 2 rings. Diagonally up and right. Walk-off left.

2m R again

3m right of fence post (at left end of main wall), starting at a triangular ledge at head height. Up past 9 bolts to lower-offs.

Start at large thick flake, left of main wall.

Up wall 1m left of flake, 6 bolts up to 2 rings, can walk-off left with some easy balancey contouring.

1m right , up crack to start. Doesnt look dirty. On same wall as preceding 3 routes

Start 6m right of fence post (at left end of main wall), just right of low roof at wide crack/chimney. Chimney up to 2nd bolt, crux through overlap to 3rd bolt, then more easily to anchors. Middle-third is sandy with broken rock.

Up a short face, but mainly climbs R arete before moving left near top.

8m right of fence post (at left end of main wall). Start at dihedral, up and out to 2nd bolt on face, easy slabbing until finish above scoop (protected by 9th bolt).
