day 16 glacier grande
7:10am � Hike: Laguna Torres Trail � Start: 7:10am � End: 8:50a arrive � Time: 2.5h normally
� My arms were soared when crossing the river. It doesn't look as easy as it seems.
Ice Trekking on Fitz Roy � Agent: Fitz Roy Expeditions (Book from Chalten Travel) � Start: 9:45am � End: 3:30pm � only me turned up � others changed perhaps due to weather � hike to glacier is dangerous � trek on ice is easy � climb the ice wall is arduous � crossing the river with rope is not much fun
The trail to the glacier is much more dangerous than the glacier itself.

fact: � behind the mountain is the greatest ice mass outside of Antarctica, it was the largest source of water beside Antarctica. it was just like Antarctica except without the penguins.
� Trekking with Fernando � he had 3 generations of climbing experience � His grandpa was one of the pioneers of Argentina mountaineers. He had two sons who might also become climbers.
� Patagonia the most friendly people mixed with the most unfriendly weather
� but dealing with the weather is half of the fun � it sets the mood of the environment � the weather is moody and perhaps specifically against me � whenever I decide to go some where, there is the blizzard storm � when I give up my plan and turned back, then sunny again � when I was lost and tried to retrace my trail, suddenly, super strong storm again, after I found my trail, sunny again
