Multi-pitch climbing is the linking of several sections of climbing via belay points to enable the ascent of a longer route. The iconic towering granite spires of Patagonia make the perfect playground for any multi-pitch climber. From easier, non-committing and shorter routes up Aguja Frey to epic winding climbs with committing walk-ins for only the most experienced climbers, there is something for almost every level of climber in Patagonia. If you have a specific rock climbing goal in mind, the more time you have the better, as weather can be unpredictable and you may need to wait for a good window.
Although Patagonia is typically known for its adventurous mountaineering and impressive multipitch climbs, there is a plethora of really good quality sport climbing in a number of areas around Patagonia. A few days sport climbing could be perfect if you have a bit less experience but are keen to sample the Patagonian rock.
The Patagonian Andes are the perfect playground for any mountaineer. Whether you want to don ice axes and crampons to tackle a demanding technical ascent, or summit your first volcano, Patagonia is the place to do it.

Introduce MeThe best time for climbing in Patagonia is summer;
in winter there is usually too much snow for technical rock climbing. Typically
the climbing season runs from November - February/March, depending on
whereabouts in Patagonia you will be climbing.
Trips can run anywhere from a half
day to two weeks or longer, so you can make it as short or long as you want! As
the weather in Patagonia can be finnicky, it is best to plan a few extra days
for a climbing trip, as a shorter trip could be cancelled due to bad weather.
You don't need to have any
climbing experience although this will affect the kind of trip you will be able
to do. If you have no previous belaying experience, you will only be able to do
single pitch routes, or alternatively, you could consider organising a longer
trip where you can learn basic belaying and abseiling skills before attempting
a multi-pitch route. If you already have experience belaying and abseiling, you
will have a lot more options open to you.
The equipment you will need to
bring will depend on the kind of trip you do. If you are only planning to do a
half day excursion, then all equipment will be included. However if you are
planning a multi-day trip, you will usually need to bring your own shoes and
harness. All ropes and other technical equipment will be provided by the guide,
and usually helmets and crampons too (though we would recommend checking this
when you book).
Whatever your budget, group size, length of stay, preferred activity or appetite for adventure, we can help.
