@austin_siadak arriving yesterday to the Col del Bloque Empotrado, on our way up to the summit of Aguja Val Biois. This often overshadowed peak seemed significantly more difficult to get to the top of than its better-known neighbors, Guillaumet and Mermoz, but our experience was perhaps somewhat biased by difficult conditions. Sometimes, and particularly on granite cracks, a pitch that would be extremely easy barehanded and in rock shoes, can be pretty tricky in crampons and with ice axes. It was fun though to finally go alpine climbing after a bunch of bad weather here in Chaltén, and it was cool to climb a mountain that neither of us had ever climbed before. I’ve been nursing an IT-band injury down here, and on this trip into the mountains did everything I could to keep it from getting inflamed, including hiking down from Piedra Negra at an abysmally slow pace. To help out my currently sensitive knee, Austin kindly carried more than his share of weight, and did more than his share of trail breaking - Thanks, dude! @patagonia_climb @petzl_official @lasportivana @trailbutter
