Description

Are you looking for an exciting climbing adventure in the Andes? Then come to Chile and follow me to the summit of the North Tower, in the Torres del Paine National Park!

Torres del Paine is a Chilean National Park in the Patagonia region, 280 km’s north of Punta Arenas. Popular for its impressive mountains and icebergs that rise above beautiful grasslands, it was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978.

On this 3-day tour, we will stand at the top of the North Tower (2.260m) one of the highlights of the area. It forms part of a group of granite horn-shaped walls known as the Three Towers of Paine. The North Tower was first climbed in 1958 by a team led by Guido Monzino, which was also the first Italian to ascend Mt. Everest.

We will meet at Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales and drive to the National Park. After hiking to Camp 1, we will rest and spend the night surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The next day, we will attempt the summit of North Tower!

Please keep in mind that this mountaineering experience requires a good fitness level and technical climbing skills. You should be able to head up routes from 5.5 to 5.10 in difficulty. Of course, I will be there every step of the way to help and guide you. For more information, you can check out the itinerary below.

So, if you are up for this amazing alpine adventure in the Chilean Patagonia, just get in touch with me. Let’s explore the beautiful Torres del Paine National Park and climb the North Tower!

I also offer many other mountaineering tours in Chile. Take a look, for example, at this 3-day Puntiagudo winter mountaineering ascent.

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
