"To move, to breath, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give.
To roam the roads of lands remote, to travel is to live."

HELLO THERE!
Mount Fitz Roy is a mountain located near El Chalten village in Patagonia, on the border with Chile and Argentina. Despite its average height Mount Fitz Roy is (3405m) has a reputation of being ultimate, because the sheer granite faces make it extremely difficult for climbers.
Whilst a hundred people may reach the summit of Mount Everest (8848m) in a single day, Mount Fitz Roy might be suscessfully ascended once during the spam of a year.
Fitz Roy is a huge pyramid shaped monolith, carved by the winds, snow and ice. It is made of igneous rocks from deep in the Earth, when large tectonic plates collided about 100 million years ago, magma escaped between these plates and solidified between other rocks. The erosion of these rocks led to the formation of the mountain.
