Nice Scott! Good to see you post up!
Now tell a story.
I got engaged on a sailboat in a storm down in the Beagle Channel.
Thought I might not get out of there alive, so I might as well go for it.
She said yes! We made it out alive and the rest is history.
I think my 2nd daughter was concieved at the big lake in the Torres park, I forget the name....
We spent X-Mas day at the small lake directly under the Towers. I was sad and glad that I din't have a partner there with me!!
We did a little rock in Argentina near the Fitzroy group, just me and my fiance'.
There are some pix somewhere, but no climbing shots.
Bring on the stories!!

Hey Bruce
I once sailed through the Beagle Straights too. My story isn't quite so romantic as yours. When I went through there I was on board a 360' Ro-Ro out of Punta Arenas. There was a 2' oily swell, no wind, and a light drizzle, not the 30' refraction waves I was expecting. Probably for the best, as it can get a little breezy down there.

Hey Scott,
Unfortunately I don't have any Patagonia stories or pics.
I'd sure like to hear yours. I like the pics.

The following shots are all from the Compressor Rt (no specific order). I've climbed several routes down there so I will try to keep them seperate.

In January 2011 I'm headed to Patagonia. Right now I am studying for the California Bar which I will take at the end of July. Please post up your stories and pictures to help motivate me.
What is the easiest, most impressive trad or bolted(?) route in Patagonia? I.e., is there a Corrugation Corner that will get me to a summit with awesome views in Patagonia? Better if I don't have to bring any cams.

That is the top of the rivet pitch that Bridwell re-drilled. The big bulges above are the undersides of the mushrooms. Top stepping rivets, fixed heads, and other shitty fixed gear with 6000' of exposure is pretty exciting, especially with chunks of the mushrooms crashing down around you
every few minutes.
