<\/a>We had plenty of both good and bad luck in this trip. I don’t know which we had more but things never seemed to go as they were planned. But I guess that’s how it is in Patagonia. Most plans end up being changed. It’s only the stuff that get’s done what is reported in the press.<\/p>\n

The good luck part of the trip was definitely with the weather. We had two really good weather\u00a0windows during our trip. But the bad luck part was that we totally missed the first window because I was\u00a0sick. I\u00a0had two days of\u00a0diaharrea, some\u00a0fever and one week of malicious throat infection with thick green slime. I felt like I had to throw up my lungs every morning for one week.\u00a0I tried all I could to speed up the recovery: eating\u00a0antibiotics and all sorts of pills but nothing really helped since it was a virus. With bad\u00a0weather being sick would have been\u00a0much more tolerable\u00a0but with blue skies and little wind…\u00a0It really made me think of Alanis Morissette and her song Ironic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luckily we got a second chance and in the second window we\u00a0got two summits done. We climbed Aguja Guillaumet\u00a0via\u00a0the Brenner ridge (6b, 350m) on February 19th and Media Luna via Rubio y Azul (6c, 350m) on February 21st.\u00a0\u00a0The Guillaumet climb was a shortish day from Paso Superior but the Media Luna was really at the end of our limits regarding endurance. We climbed the Media\u00a0Luna on the last day of good weather in a 24 hour round trip from the Bridwell camp.\u00a0The climb itself was not that long but the approach was 7 hours of hiking both ways.<\/p>\n

Here is one\u00a0teaser picture. More pictures to come once I get them sorted out.<\/p>\n
