Cerro Catedral Walk, Bariloche - Lynch to Frey |
Another Cerro Catedral Walk - Frey to Lynch |
Refugio Lopaz, Bariloche |
The cathedral walk was superb. A bus to the ski resort at 1000m then 2.5hours climbing under the chair lifts in hot hot sun to 2000m.
A little higher we could see the Bates Motel from Psycho on the sky line but luckily we climbed to a col for a huge very clear view of mountains glaciers lakes and the next deep forested valley over 1000m below.A well marked path continued across scree with a huge drop. Then it was climbing over boulders and outcrops for a hour with one visit from a Condor. At the end of this amazing high level walk we turned to Refugio Frey and more scrambing and snow crossing. The scenary made us feel so good unlike the 3 hour walk back from the refugio through the forest to the ski resort and bus home. A great walk matched by the best hostel ever.
Dave went back to Catedral for the third time. Someone in the hostel said Dave might be addicted to walking or a little bit psychotic.
