()..The meteorology was adverse during all day yesterday, but round 3 o´clock in the afternoon, some sun rays lean out among the heavy clouds and we took the opportunity to climb to a panoramic spot to 2.300 yards from the shelter.

We wanted to go on to the Mirador de los Suecos (Swedish viewpoint), but the loose gravel road and the wet ground made us easly slipper in the slopes. We had to be content with what nature offered us.

The anemometer registered 41.6 miles/hs of wind speed in the waypoint that we marked in S64º 21,892´ y W 056º 59,167´, turning point of our journey. Bewteen comings and goings we delay almost 3 hs. In our halfway we visited the tent we kept assembled from the first day to see how it worked against the strong winds. The Montagne Apollo III was still immutable..()
