Patagonia is a very beautiful place with strong winds

We have a dream... and we have a plan. We will explore the
beautiful Patagonian nature and have plenty of good moments
with the wild mountains.

But there are problems as with all beauty. Beauty is always hard
business. The heavenly clouds of Patagonia are the most feared
ones there are. Beauty is a two bladed sword. If you want and
long for the best, you'll have to be ready to suffer the cost it
demands. As said, beauty takes its toll.

Patagonia has the most feared wind on earth. Once the western wind
blows from the Pacific Ocean it will hit the four kilometer high wall
of mountains only few moments after it has hit the coast of Chile.
When the wind collides with vertical rock the result is a storm you
can only imagine in your worst nightmares. The constant howl of the
wind will dig in to your mind and you'll learn to appreciate the
silence once it finally comes.

The silent moments are the climbing moments. We must be prepared
to act once the weather opens the window for climbing. The windows are
short but all the suffering is paid well. Patagonian beauty is one
of a kind. You must earn your highest experience of aestethics.
