FITZ ROY TWO WAYS: the hard route vs the easy route We did both Fitz Roy hikes back to back so you can actually compare them before you go. One nearly broke us. One we'd do on a recovery day. We definitely had a favourite 👀 CHAPTERS 0:23 intro | what 2 routes are we comparing 0:53 laguna de los tres (hard route) 2:45 laguna payoff 5:46 what we skipped (walk-back to el chalten) 7:23 mirador route 9:09 mirador payoff 10:40 reflections 12:05 which route should you choose? THE ROUTES 🏔️ Laguna de los Tres — the classic. Long, exposed, brutal final climb. Worth every step. 🦅 Mirador de los Condores — underrated. Great for an arrival day or if you're short on time.
