See this link for quick update on last 10 days. Will right up details when we have time and internet access.
Cheers.
Martin
The title of the blog is inspired by Ricky Martin’s 1999 hit, Livin’ La Vida Loca (Livin’ the Crazy Life) – somehow it seems fitting. Conveniently enough, ‘roca’, the Spanish word for rock, rhymes with ‘loca’, Spanish for crazy,…hmmm…coincidence? You decide, as we cling to cliffs and dangle from our digits, bouncing through South America, livin’ la vida roca (livin’ the rock life).

BBQ Argentia Style |
We hire MTB and ride around the lake. |
Marese allways up for a swim. Sometimes too chilly for Martin. |
I think this picture is off one off their excellent boxes of chocolates. |
Various photos from around Bariloche, Argentia on our climing rest days.
Tacky Swiss Village, Marese loved it. |
The ice cream is some of the best we have ever tasted. |
Camptime slackline
On rest days we practice the slackline for a bit of fun. I hope to get quite good by the end of the trip, or at least be able to get to the other end without falling off..
See this link for a few photos of the fun.

Into the Fray
We trekked 4 hours into the mountains to the Refugio Frey in Argentina. Spent 5 days in the mountains on starvation rations (unless we ate cake in the Refugio). There was some excellent weather…and some Patagonia weather. The clean granite spires and cracks gave us the best climbing of the trip so far.
I won’t describe any more as you can see it all on the video.
