Trekking the W day 1 - Gray Glacier

Stayed the night at Refugio Paine Grande and set off for the 1st leg of the famous "W" walk towards Gray Glacier. The W takes about 5 to 6 days to do and is very popular with trekkers from all over the world.

Gray Glacier was spectacular in its own right although not in the same league as Perito Moreno. On our return to the Refugio we celebrated Claudius (Swiss German) birthday. He is pictured on the right talking to Mike (Canadian).

It was a superb start....although stay tuned as things turned quite interesting from here.
