Up and over the Paso Gardner today. The trail climbed slowly through forest and out onto the moraine. A steady climb up and up and up in Patagonian wind and rain brought us to the highest point on the trail at 1200m and nearly blew me away a couple of times!
The views over Glacier Grey from the pass are amazing, Michael got all emotional and declared it one of the best days of his life. It really is a special place in the world.
The remaining part of the day was spent hiking down the valley, alongside the glacier. We crossed a couple of ravines, with the help of dodgy wooden ladders, rope and some scrambling. Just don't look down.
Distance: A whopping 22km
Dinner: Pasta
Pack: Not feeling very light
Feet: Wet and cold
Weather: Laughing at me
