The weather decided to give us a sunny end to our trip, so we decided to pack our backpacks and trek up to Frey and the Cathedral Spires for some quick alpine climbing to end the trip! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we were able to climb 2 days close to the Refugio.

Back in Bariloche, we decided to soak up our last day in night in town with the views, an asada dinner, and our last taste of street food before the long flight back to the USA!

Now a quick visit to Denver and then off to Montana for Prez Day Yurt Ski Weekend!! I will miss the South American summer, the beauty of Northern Patagonia and the people I met, but I am super excited to get the skis in some powder and the ice tools swinging once again!!
