The weather was clear with only light winds this morning, so I saddled up to repeat yesterdays hike sure that today would give me the views that I failed to find yesterday.

And I was not disappointed - about an hour down the trail I got my first sighting of the rock tower that is the (in)famous Cerro Torre all clear in the blue sky except for some wispy clouds around the summit. The sides of the pillar were caked in snow, plastered on, I assume, during yesterday and last nights storm. The winds in camp last night were very strong, at times hitting the Tiger like someone was pounding on the sides. It must have been simply brutal for any climbing parties up on those mountains/
