Big Traverse in Patagonoia

Two New Hampshire natives have put up a big traverse of 3 routes in Patagonia according to The Adventure Blog. It’s great to see that even in this day and age when most people tend to think “everything has been done”, that there are still people out there pushing the limits and setting the bar.

A quote from one of the climbers…

“Mad Dog and I had four different successful climbs, but I really see them as part of a prolonged project that involved first doing our homework via a new route on Guillaumet, a new variation on Fitz Roy, and a free ascent of the Red Pillar on Mermoz, then linking all three summits in a single three-day traverse,” Wilkinson said in an email from Patagonia.

You also gotta love that one the climbers is named “Mad Dog.”
