Southern Patagonia Ice Field beta?


Recommended Posts

Beginning planning a trip next winter down to patagonia to Fitz Roy and Paine.

 

Does anyone have experience/beta on the SPIF, specifically the route from Lago Electrica/Paso Marconi to Paso de los vientos? How was the access up to the pass to get onto the ice field. Any info on permits, etc with the 'international border crossing'? We are not looking for a guide service, but there seem to be a lot of those too. Also, preferences for conditions (particularly the winds and stability) in late December/early Jan versus Feb/March?

 

If the weather is good and we get to use our extra days at Cirque of the Altares, are there suggested routes/explorations?

you might be down there right now....but if you still need information for your trip. Me and a partner crossed the ice cap via from Lago electrica and paso de los vientos in 2003. I just did a search for trip reports in Paine. I'm hoping to put together a climbing trip next winter.
