Description

This 3-day Trad climbing program in Frey will take you to one of Patagonia’s rock climbing meccas!

Bariloche is one of the most popular spots in the Argentinian Patagonia. It’s surrounded by mountains, lakes and forest to the west, while the landscape changes completely to the east, where the more deserted scenery dominates. This gives the place a wide range of outdoor activities to practice.

The Frey mountain hut, or just Frey, as it’s known, is located on the south of the Cerro Catedral. It can be reached after an easy 3 or 4 hours hike and it is a paradise for rock climbing lovers. There are some many different routes for every level, skill and wishes that a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to climb them all!

But I know quite a bunch of them and I’ll be happy to show you around!

We’ll start the trip early in the morning, hiking from Cerro Catedral ski resort base to the Frey mountain hut through an amazing trail. Once settled in the hut we’ll prepare the technical gear and get ready to climb in the afternoon. I usually pick the emblematic Frey Needle on the first day, because it’s the closest to the mountain hut and it has many routes to chose from.

And on the next couple of days we’ll head for the Principal Tower, which has an amazing view of the surroundings, and we’ll let the final approach for you to decide once we’re there.

So send me a request to book this 3-day Trad climbing program in Frey and I guarantee you’ll have one of the best rock climbing experience of your life!

And if you don’t feel ready for it and prefer to pick a more basic rock climbing course, please check my Sport climbing course for beginners in Bariloche.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
