One of the high points if the Torres. We were barely able to see it's immensity through the clouds from the top of the John Gardner Pass, but we got to hike next to it for hours the next day with perfect weather and were able to walk almost right next to it.
One of the more interesting sections of the Torres. Vertical ladders sections tied together with thin lengths if wire, precariously tied to poorly rooted shrubs on the side if the cliff which "get blown out occasionally by flash floods" according to the guidebook, "use your wits".
Step 1 of hiking the Dientes circuit takes you straight up to the top of Cerro Bandera (the Beagle Channel in the background named after the ship Darwin first sailed through with it's Captain Fitz Roy). Awesome views with Ushuaia visible on the western shoreline, not pictured.
View from the top of Paso de los Dientes, on my day 2 day hike from camp, giving first views of the spongy lowlands of Isla Navarino with foggy views if Cape Horn in the background. Cape Horn is the literal end of the Americas beyond which lies only Antarctica and the roughest seas in the world.
