South America mountains

"We had a couple of days free in Curitiba and hired a great local guide Veleda who took us on the traverse of Piolho, Caratuva, and Taipabucu. It was cloudy with some rain and the trail was at times challenging to discern, but we cover the 13km with 2000m of elevation gain in 8 hours." — jak5280 • Sep 24, 2019

"Another incredible bluebird day at Cerro Bayo. We ascended the prominent backcountry peak this time from the south ridge after passing a guided group (first people we'd seen in backcountry in 2 days). We dropped from the summit off the east side for another great line and decided to skin up again from the east face (same as previous day) for our third summit and ski descent. Magnificent. Then on the ski out we hit the open powder (yes powder almost like Japan!) twice on exit for the day." — alexjoseph • Sep 2, 2019

"First ski in Argentina at Cerro Bayo...took the lift up after a lazy 11am start. The most incredible skyline I've ever seen. Saw one group of 4 Argentinians in the backcountry. Essentially all untracked except one peak the group did and so we decided at 3:30pm to skin and climb straight up and ski off the summit. Incredible! This peak is just a ridge point which we took a couple runs off." — alexjoseph • Sep 1, 2019
