One of the great things about hiking is that it creates a tremendous appreciation for food. An underestimated hike that nearly kills you can turn crap into ambrosia.

There's certainly nothing much better than eating when hungry.
That's some seriously broken up rocks.
Yeah, we weren't really ready for them. When we saw that there was still an hour or so left to go and we had to walk on rocks and boulders.. it demoralized us.. but we pushed on.
For clarity, a top notch guide book would have identified that part as a 'scramble' rather than a hike. Just in case you ever see that term in a description that's what you are in for.
Did you weigh the backpack to know how much weight you were carrying? To me that would have been one of the hardest parts of the trip.
This would be why if I can't get there and back in a day I don't go. I love hiking. Camping is okay. Combining the two of them? Pass.
I agree. People take way too much stuff when they go camping and hiking, imo. Tent, cooker, saucepan, sleeping bag, changes of clothing, soap, AND food?
Did you find you took enough food for how strenuous of days you were having doing that? I'd be extra hungry and doing extra eating working that hard, and you have to know to plan for it.
Lake Nordenskjöld on the left..
huh? This is Patagonia?
thx for the pics
How about water? Did you carry it or find local sources?
