But we're heading to bed because we're going for another attempt. Hiking to Piedra Negra and camping at there tomorrow. Attempting the Brenner-Moschioni route on the 27th during a nice little weather window. And planning to return the 28th.
We spent Christmas resting, feasting, and preparing so we're feeling really good. Tim watched two movies and never even left the hostel. He did manage to make bechemel sauce for hand-made pasta Sheila found in town and to fix the stove with our "in town toothbrush" (who needs more than 1 toothbrush any way?). Sheila watched one movie and managed a 20 min walk around town without getting blown away by 30 kt wind gusts. She also braised a chicken for Christmas dinner. Perfect resting regimen.
Sounds like good time are being had and you're getting to enjoy the typical Patagonia experience of waiting for a weather window. Good call on bailing on the poor conditions and best wishes for the next attempt!
ReplyDeleteThanks, BP! Yep, having a blast here. The last window already has a few names: la ventana pequenita, the window that never opened, or, according to our only two neighbors at high camp, "the bullshit window." It's all an adventure.
