Panorama Photo

San Lorenzo is the second highest massif in Patagonia, after the San Valentin which this perfect Patagonian day allowed to see in the distance.

Description next. I need time to retrieve the old documentation...
For those who remember the old panorama "Las huellas de tu paso", consider that they do not share the same standpoint. The present one comes from a slightly higher summit, with better sight on the region Comedor and, thus, on the Normalweg to the San Lorenzo.
Of course here the search for the footprint effect has eaten up a portion of the 360°...

14 HF, Canon G1X, 32 mm equiv, f/5.6, 1/1250 sec.

The endless queue...but this panorama defeats my theory I just proposed - no arid, eroded mountains here, but sharp glaciated peaks. Great to see those contrasts. Cheers, Martin

Martin: the mountain is indeed majestic, but it is hard from a photo like this to understand how the ascent can be so difficult and dangerous. I think that here its height+isolation play a primary role, allowing for incredible winds and storms.
The day before taking this photo I met the two guys who had just performed the first Mexican climb. (After their descent, the massif was remaining entirely mine, which is a sensation that you cannot experience in the Alps). The two claimed to have seen nothing of the mountain during their whole stay!
Cheers, Alberto.

a fantastic place! I think I read the description of your previous pano at least five times, so maybe if all the guys like me can help we will have a chance to get it again :-)

Indeed it may come back, although it lies deeply hidden in the queue now.
Consider that it came from a slightly lower summit, which is hidden here. You can see it in the pano now on my Testplatz 7449: this work is the close twin of the present one, and I submitted it several weeks ago to Mountain Panoramas, because surely I cannot publish such a "copy" here!

Meanwhile that story, in a certain sense, "follows" me: if you read it so many times, you will surely understand why it was the hidden subject behind my recent N.18575, with its strange title. For ease, I quote a useful paragraph from the old story:
«Later, unfortunately, in place of Gino came the news that Gino had dead of a stroke while walking to the Pordoi. Hard to believe, but the man who with his wife had performed the first ascent of Aguja Saint-Exupery in the Fitzroy, now had dead while walking on the quiet, wide meadows above Arabba!»
Cheers,
Alberto.
