    Approach Notes:

    The best thing to do is take a bus from the town of Los Andes, Chile towards Saladillo. Tell the chofer this: "Quiero hacer dedo para Portillo" when you get on the bus. He will smile and nod his head. In 20 minutes, When he turns the bus around and says "aqui aqui" get off and start walking, its a beautiful place to hitchhike and you will get picked up for sure.

  2. I will catch you if you fall my friend...

     

    Most people, like myself, never have the gear or ambition to Aid. I learned from the start that Climbing should be done free and in good style. But, after taking time to scratch the surface of this discipline, in light of wanting to climb a few routes that require it, I can attest to it's value. The positions gained from overcoming hard (overhung) terrain for consecutive pitches is totally wild, unforgettable, and addicting.

    Anyone lacking total confidence in gear placements, rope management, or rescue techniques will find that Aid Climbing sharpens all of these.

     

    Thank you Wayne for taking the time to teach me so much.
