Climbing in Patagonia: Aguja de l'S via Austríaca

- Beau Skalley and I speed-drove 1300km of Argentinian roads past herds of guanacos, drinking thermoses of yerba mate and with only one flat tire to get to Chalten for a small weather window. We joined up with Chris Farrah and Adam Martos to climb Aguja d l'S from the west side via the Austríaca route from Camp Polacos.
This was my first Patagonia summit and the stories lived up to the hype. The approach into the Torre Group across scree-covered glacial moraines was no joke, the packs heavy, the weather finicky, windy and ever-changing, and the climbing and views legendary.
Shout-out to many packs of Oreos, our Rocky Talkies and TruWild turmeric tea for providing some luxuries on the summit!
Your videos are such a pleasure for this armchair mountaineer. Your cheerful demeanor and your generous and excellent camera work give a great sense of place and altitude. I love what you do. Please keep it up!
Thank you! These are my first videos so still learning all the tips and tricks and how to translate reality to film. Appreciate the support!
@@natalieafoninachannel 5 am in Samarkand was... exquisite. I'm starstruck. Seriously, the way you point out the peaks, and hold the shot with a steady hand, is much better than others, which can become disorienting.
Looks like so much fun what an awesome adventure one day I hope to make it out there
I think your channel can blow up if you keep at it! Great content and personality. I've been researching hiking channels debating if I should start my own which is how TH-cam sent me here. But you set the bar pretty high!
great video! we went to el chalten last month and we did the Mojón Rojo and I couldn't stop staring at aguja de l'S. Maybe next season!
That’s on my list! Along with a whole bunch of other routes. Gotta go back again
@@natalieafoninachannel nice! mojon rojo is super easy. We did it without using any protection and only took us about 2-3 hours starting from the cave
Wow your all amazing 🤩 love this
sick route! this makes me want to go to Patagonia next year!
DO IT. Incredible climbing, delicious food, and views for a lifetime
Jelly! looks amazing
You're great. 👏 👏 👏 👏
Awesome 👏
Man I need to go here one day.
it's actually called AGUJA DE "LA ESE" (letter "S").... which roughly translates to "THE S's NEEDLE"
Good call. My casual google search for the right way to spell it definitely didn't yield the accurate result
@@natalieafoninachannel I am from argentina, so you could consider this just plain cheating, I guess....
Really enjoying these! What is the tea you mentioned (I couldn't hear the name clearly)
It’s a turmeric-curcumin-black pepper powder mix from TruWild! I mix a teaspoon in my thermos with hot water. This stuff: truwild.com/products/turmeric-curcumin
@@natalieafoninachannel Awesome! Thanksss
@natalieafonina are you wearing dirt roamer pants? how are they for climbing?
Nope! Wearing Rab alpine softshell pants
Is that Tyler Karow in your party??
One and only! He’s the one that sat me down and convinced me to switch to longform videos over Instagram stories
