Chalten, tuš in vse polno domačih plezalcev

Danes smo Silvo, Andrej in Jaz ponovno vkorakali v civilizacijo in v Chaltenu našli en kup Slovencev.

Monika je šla dol že en dan prej, mi pa smo vztrajali v naši bazi, kjer nam nevšečnosti povzročajo preveč predrzni trekerji. Chalten je postal prava plezalna meka. Seveda smo spet za en dan zamudili FUL čago (to nam vedno rečejo). V Chaltenu so zbrani sami asi iz plezalnih revij, najprej naš Huber, pa Švicar Stephan Siegriest, Steve Schneider, pa Kurt Albert, Leo Holding, Kevin Thaw,...... in pa naš najuspesnejši alpinist leta 2004 Tomaž Jakofcic, skupaj z Grego Lacnom. Tomaž in Grega sta prišla na sever iz juga - iz Painov, kjer jima je uspelo preplezati njuno lansko leto zčeto prvenstveno smer!!! Bravo pubeci!

El Chalten je v tem času postal tudi "pravo" mesto z enim umorom in turisti kar derejo v ta narodni park...

Vsi plezalci smo sedaj na trnih, ker bi naj bilo v naslednjem tednu nekaj velikih lukenj na prihajajočem nebu, kar pomeni ..... je treba iti plezat!!! Trenutno naša zasedba krepko vodi v preplezanih smereh, vsi ostali pa nas krepko vodijo po številu prekrokanih noči v Chaltenu. ;-)

Perfect Morocco
The expedition to Morocco was really great. We were enraptured with its diversity and hospitability of the local people. And especially with unbelievably amounts of reddish walls, one of the best limestone climbing cliffs we know!
