Some more of the mountains around El Chalten – I was so attached to them, I kept drawing them. This painting I did on a hike; the spike is Cerro Torre, renowned for the near impossibility of climbing it and the controversy over who first achieved this. The very top is covered in a cap of ice, which is not only extremely difficult to get a hold in but pieces of it might at any moment drop onto your head. Also the mountain is nearly sheer. I thought it was much more exciting than Fitz Roy.
Secondly here are the mountains to the left of Torre and Fitz Roy. I was sat in a much comfier cafe for this one.
