The second day in El Chalten was a free day; James and myself ended up doing the ice climbing and ice hiking option. In the morning we boarded yet another boat to get closer to another glacier – the Viedma glacier.

We left the boat at the middle moraine to get the climbing gear and short introduction – to finally walk over to the cliff and do our first climbs.

After a few climbs, the arms got tired and we headed back to the equipment tent for lunch. After lunch we put the crampons on again to get back to the glacier – this time for ice hiking.
