Willie and Jeff made the Monte Tarn hike yesterday, and had the peak all to themselves. There are snowfields at the top and beautiful views of the Strait of Magellan. Not to mention, plenty of experience with the infamous Chilean turbal (peat bogs) on the way up!
We were on tenterhooks, but looks like the guys will fly to the ice after the weekend. Keep training!
“In my experience, few provide a more complete, safe and rewarding expedition experience than the Benegas Brothers. When it comes to expedition judgement, safety and climbing ethics, Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb. There’s a lot more to high altitude climbing expeditions than just getting to the top. Team dynamics, the opportunities to learn skills, making lifelong friends, enjoying new cultures and cuisine are some of the important elements of an expedition. In my experience, few provide a more complete, safe and rewarding expedition experience than the Benegas Brothers. When it comes to expedition judgement, safety and climbing ethics, Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb. My son Matt and I have 100% trust and confidence in Willie and Damian and when I’m not climbing with Matt, it’s reassuring to know he’s with the Benegas Brothers. ”
