Four days in El Chaltén and the most we got to see of notoriously shy mt. Fitz Roy was this.

Cuatro días en El Chaltén y lo máximo que vivimos de ese tímidazo que es el Fitz Roy fue esto.
Fitz Roy (Patagonia) 20240205
Monte Fitz Roy (also known as Cerro Chaltén, Cerro Fitz Roy, or simply Mount Fitz Roy) is a mountain in the border between Argentina and Chile that is located near the village of El Chaltén that is in Argentina.
Fitz Roy is a huge pyramid shaped granite monolith, carved by the winds, snow and ice. Fitz Roy is made of igneous rocks from deep in the Earth. When large tectonic plates collided about 100 million years, magma escaped between these plates and solidified between other rocks. The erosion of these rocks led to the formation of the mountain.

Fitz Roy (Patagonia) 20240205
The Cerro Fitz Roy, also known as Cerro Chaltén, is a mountain located near the village of El Chaltén, in Patagonia, on the border between Argentina and Chile.
Fitz Roy is situated in the province of Santa Cruz (Argentina) and in the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica region (Chile).
It gave its name to the Fitz Roy massif and rises just five kilometers northeast of Cerro Torre. Its altitude is 3,405 meters. It was first climbed by the French mountaineers Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone in 1952.
The Fitz Roy is located both in the Los Glaciares National Park (Argentina) and the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park (Chile).
Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge. I did a version of this a while back but I like this one, too. John Disney observing The Penitent Magdalene (1832) by Pompeo Marchesi. Disney (1779-1857), a Cambridge man (Peterhouse, 1796), was a barrister and an antiquarian enthusiast. He left his collection of ancient sculptures to the Museum in 1850, and also endowed the first professorship of archaeology in Great Britain in 1851.
Hiking in Patagonia you feel truly alone in this remote part of the world. The mountains offer a stark contrast to the vast nothingness of the Patagonian Steppe which stretches beyond the horizon. Approaching Monte Fitz Roy the clouds move in over the traverse and the cold winds begin to blow.
“You are now entering a wilderness area in which your personal health is at the disposal of the natural forces”
I only had one opportunity to visit this location while in Patagonia and I lucked out with this absolutely blazing sunset. I couldn't really have asked for more as this magical little waterfall was surrounded by fall colors with Fitz Roy, one of the most impressive mountain peaks in the world, looking down over it all.
Mt. Fitz Roy or Cerro Chalten (The smoking mountain) as the locals call it, was just waking up to some nice dappled light when I took this shot. This peak was first climbed in 1952 and it remains among the most technically challenging mountains on Earth for mountaineers, thanks to its sheer granite face and extraordinary high winds.

Only for a brief moment, Fitz Roy was revealed. Very often this mountain is covered in clouds but the conditions can change very quickly so it's worth waiting for it.

Long before the ascent of any these impressive peaks was envisioned and the western explorers discovered this land, the king of this land was the wind, who shared its kingdom with the original inhabitants of this land, the Tehuelches. They referred to this mountain as “Chaltel” or “Chaltén” meaning smoking mountain, a name no doubt inspired by the clouds that so often trail from the summit. Unfortunately the western newcomers had their heads too full of heroes to celebrate and appreciate the poetry of the original Tehuelche name.
It was Francisco Pascasio “Perito” Moreno that renamed the peak after Robert Fitz Roy, an English astronomer and sailor (1805-1865), who was partly responsible for the first accurate mapping of the intricate watersheds and shorelines of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. On his second trip to Patagonia in 1834, together with Charles Darwin, Fitz Roy set out to explore the Río Santa Cruz in hopes of reaching the Andes, but after sailing 140 miles up river they were forced to turn around, resigning themselves to a very distant sight of the snow covered mountains.
Of the mountain he later christened as Cerro Fitz Roy Moreno writes: “Los Tehuelches me han mencionado varias veces y con terror supersticioso, esta ‘montaña humenate’. Es el ‘Chalten’ que vomita humo y cenizas y que hace temblar la tierra...” He later on explains his reasons for renaming the peak “Cerro Fitz Roy”: “...como el nombre de ‘Chalten’ que le dan los indios lo aplican ellos también a otras montañas, me permito llamarle ‘Fitz Roy’, como una muestra de gratitud que los argentinos debemos a la memoria del sabio y enérgico almirante inglés...” The reasoning seems in accordance to the principles of the early explores, who felt they were discovering a land that had in fact been inhabited for almost 12.000 years.
The clouds that so often trail the summit tricked everyone, from the Tehuelches to Moreno, into thinking the peak was a volcano. It was not until 1899 that German naturalist Rodolfo Hauthal visited the area and clearly established that the peak was in fact granite.

Early morning frost created a stunning ice patterns on the water pools formed after recent rains in the washes of Laguna Sucia below mount Fitz Roy. The clear sunrise was a bonus.

Le cerro Fitz Roy, également connu sous le nom de cerro Chaltén est une montagne située dans le parc national Los Glaciares dans la province de Santa Cruz en Patagonie, près du village d'El Chaltén, à la frontière chilo-argentine. Son altitude est de 3 405 mètres.
Le nom Chaltén vient du mot mapuche qui signifie « la montagne qui fume » (en raison des fréquents nuages accrochés à son sommet) ; les Mapuches la considéraient comme une montagne sacrée. Le cerro Chaltén est le symbole de la province de Santa Cruz qui l'arbore sur ses armes.

Days passed and it didn't look like the weather was getting better. A friend on the road came with news "Looks like tomorrow's the sun is coming out". We couldn't believe what we heard... I woke up at 3 AM in the morning to check the forecast.. It looked... "promising"? Little snowflakes where falling and it was cold AF. Decided to take the risk, woke up everyone who wanted to go for it and started the walk from Laguna Capri to the base of the Mountain. The goal was to get the sunrise from above. Cloudy conditions made it difficult to get the shot, though it left everything in a perfect state. Clean air and beautiful clouds. After a long walk back, I couldn't stop starring at this massive chunk of rock coming out of the horizon. It was my second time on the National Park, and I knew some cool viewpoints of the complex. Kept thinking about this place in particular.
I believe this one is one of the most soothing places to gaze at this imposing sage, who has more than one thing to teach you. Of course, it depends on our perspective on what we receive as a teaching, and finally, it's just us listening to our essence.
I hope everyone can meet this giant at least once in their life. Please feel free to send me any messages asking for information about this place or other places in Chile! Id love to help you! Cheers!
Una de mis imágenes preferidas de mi viaje a Patagonia, también una de las mas " rebeldes " pues costo tres madrugones conseguirla.
Los guías de montaña apostaron porque esa mañana al amanecer el Fitz Roy se abriría entre nubes y acertaron de pleno, aunque la magia duro bien poco.
It is a mountain located on the border of Chile with Argentina in the region of Patagonia. The town of El Chaltén, in the province of Santa Cruz, is the best starting point for trekking for the lookouts on Mt. Its name is a tribute to Robert FitzRoy, captain of the HMS Beagle, ship that took Charles Darwin on his trip around the world. In the region is also known as El Chaltén, the same name as a village.
The clouds lift from Cerro Fitz Roy in what must be one of the most spectacular alpine valleys in the world.
