A remote, glaciated peak (8720 ft elevation in Chile) rises from the South Patagonian Ice Cap, 17 miles northwest of Piedra Negra (a climbers' basecamp above Rio Electrico Valley, near El Chalten, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, Patagonia, South America). We hiked the scenic Rio Electrico Valley to Refugio Piedra del Fraile ("Stone of the Friar", 14.5 km round trip). From the refuge, a path ascends very steeply to Paso Quadrado (gaining 1340 m vertically in 8.4 km round trip). Views keep improving the higher you go.
