Valles de Frances

Hiked up to the Torres again this morning for sunrise and it was good that I had hiked last night. The clouds and snow were so thick, you could not see anything. I met quite a few number of people up there as we waited in hope that the torres would majestically appear, but unfortunately we just could not will it to happen. We also had a short discussion how everyone had froze the night before, I was glad not to be alone on that one. I had the same route and timetable as these two guys from the UK, Steve and Andy and so ended up hiking to the next place together, Campiemento Italiano. The hike was crazy weather wise. We started with snow, descended into light rain, then into beautiful hot sunny weather, then incrediable winds, driving rain, then back to high winds. They say the weather changes quickly in Patagonia ... though I don't really believe that. Had some amazing views as we hiked along the glacier lakes. Most of the mountains hid from us in the clouds.
