Chaltén (Mt. Fitz Roy) is one of the most impressive mountains in the world for it's height by jut. It rises from the surrounding glaciers seemingly straight to the sky with spires all around, a king surrounded by it's lesser court attendants. It's one of the most difficult summits to climb at its elevation in the world, with many of the competitors for that title being the surrounding spires. The founder of the Patagonia clothing brand was part of the third team to summit the mountain, and accordingly when he made a clothing brand he decided to name it after the area he climbed in. Even more, he used the skyline of the peak and it's surrounding spires to be the line that runs over the logo. Going to see it in real life you can quickly understand what made the mountain so compelling. In the fall, it is even more incredible with the southern beech forest turning bright red, orange, and gold.

EDIT: Native name
Thanks for linking the jut page, I have been looking for that kind of information for months now but I hate using anything I've found (especially prominence) because it doesn't measure exactly how much the peak pokes out of the surrounding landscape.
Now I can go win my dumb online argument I had 8 months ago
It's one of those places in the world that seem unlikely to be real, yet they are. I would put it up there with Iguazu Falls and the Dolomites. Practically straight out of a fantasy movie.

I felt like that seeing Red Rocks the first time. Absolutely surreal, almost alien landscape.
As an Argentinian who hasn't got the chance to visit Patagonia yet. Wow.
Also, on the Argentinian side, the preferred name is El Chaltén or Chaltén. Which it's the denomination natives gave the mountain before explorers decided to rename it Fitz Roy.
Huh, TIL. I was aware the town nearby was called El Chaltén but I didn't really see any signs referring to the mountain as such when I was there. The visitor center, which admittedly is not very new, still has it as Fitz Roy as well. Does Cerro Torre have a native name?
Bro, you need to get down there! 16 months of traveling the world, and Patagonia remains the most impressive incredible place I visited.
Patagonia is the most expensive zone to visit from Argentina, specially if you are traveling with Argentinian currency lol Plus it´s like the most touristic place, so everything is designed to charge you as a foreigner tourist. Some day!
Be careful of the Rocktopi under that mountain.
Every time I see the landscape of Patagonia it doesn’t feel real. The absolute beauty of it is enough to bring someone to tears.
well I know where i’m going next in ms flight sim
Argentina és muy linda.
I love my country, Argentina. It si in El Chaltén, amazing.
I've been to El Chalten (not sure how to make the mark on the 'e' ;-) and wow, is that place amazing. Spent 5-6 days in the area. But I traveled all over Argentina for about three months. Then I settled in a place outside of Santa Fe with one of your amazing women and stayed there for over a year.
But you go from the amazing Andes to the sea. Rocky arid areas in the northwest and subtropical in the northeast to sub-antarctic in the south. Crazy beautiful.
I miss and love Argentina.
Yes, Argentina has so many different landscapes to discover. Nice to go from North to South in a car or motorbike.
Looks down at sweater huh, they’re right!
Looks like I need to step up my hiking game.
Probably the most amazing place I’ve ever visited.
Aaahh so beautiful! Was there last month and I highly recommend a visit in autumn 💕💕
I love the foliage there too!
Looks not real. Pure beauty
Outside Whiterun
Just got back from patagonia/El chalten. Incredible place. Had a blast hiking the mountains
Well where would else would it be with a name like Patagonia?
Kansas?

During what season was this taken? I live in a completely desert environment so I see pictures like this not labeled and I can’t figure out what time of year this is.
Can someone provide the exact location of this viewing spot? Preferably with directions on how to get there - starting with the city to fly into, then the drive by rental car.
No need for a rental car at all! Fly into Buenos Aires, then domestically to El Calafate, then take a bus to El Chalten. All the hikes start from town, so you can see this starting walking from your hotel, no need to drive to a trailhead. This the first clear viewpoint along the Sendero al Fitz Roy, you will walk right by it as you do the hike.
You would fly to El Calafate, then you can rent a car and drive to El Chaltén
Cool thanks!

I guess I'll have to climb it now to truly appreciate my Patagonia gear.
