2025 Nov 22: El Chalten solo

Friends left this AM, sad. We are now solo.

Long, hard loop hike today: Mirador Cerro Torre to Laguna Capri & back down the Mirador Fitz Roy/Tres Lagos trail. 12 miles. The out & back legs were fine, the outlooks grand, but the traverse leg was treacherous: not well marked, overgrown, blocked by bogs in many places. AllTrails with GPS enabled us to find our way; I was watching my battery level closely.
