  • Mojon Rojo is an amazing mountain in Los Glaciares National Park. The park is famous for many things including being the location of Fitz Roy. Fitz Roy is the logo of the Patagonia brand! The summit offers views of Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Torre Egger, and so much more. The sunrise hitting the mountains over Laguna Sucia might have been the prettiest thing I have ever seen! This climb isn’t extremely technical and can be done without ropes… but speaking from experience I would not recommend it. Especially on the final summit tower, a fall would not be survivable if climbing on the exposed side which in my opinion was the easiest way to climb up.
    We did this in a single day push but Swiss Bivy is a small overhang that offers a great place to camp if you would rather do the climb in 2 days. Route finding was difficult on this climb and there are guides in El Chaltén that would make this climb so much easier especially in the route finding regard.

    Looks a cool climb! Had trouble with crevasses in that glacier crossing?

      Fortunately where we crossed the glacier had not opened much yet! So no trouble.

      You can’t see it! But we knew we were on a glacier so it can always be possible there is one under a thin layer of snow. It’s just something you definitely need to watch out for. However, in the area we were in, I felt confident enough we were on a good spot on the glacier that we didn’t rope up like you would on most other glaciers. But I was still definitely keeping an eye out.
