Mount FitzRoy is a mere 3375 meters (11073 feet) but is one of the premier challenges of the Alpine climbing world first ascended in 1952 by French alpinists Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone. Even now Fitz Roy is climbed maybe once a year, and when you look at the photos you can understand why then consider Patagonian weather . . . But we had a nice clear day - they are getting rare - to catch a glimpse from El Chalten, Argentina.
A short hike up the valley to Laguna Capri improved the view even more
