I took a cheap ass film camera to Patagonia, and these are the only two images which came out & I kinda feel like I’ve won the lottery!
The first is a view of Mount Fitz Roy, which is made famous by the Patagonian logo. We had climbed it two days before; the last 1km was some steep ass s**t, and my big bottom hurt for days. On the morning of this shot, there were condors flying overhead, and to the right is sleepy El Cháten. We got up at 3 am to see this view, and it made me so proud of my sister, who had organised the whole trip, as I’m useless.
The second image is my sister , my sister by a different mister , and my brother , hiding behind a stone wall from the wind at the top of Mount Fitz Roy. We randomly bumped into an Irish lad at the top of this hill. I knew he was Irish as he had the short shorts on, even though it was cold AF.
I had done little to no training for this trip. Dad always says, ‘Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Well, Dad, it might have only taken me 40 years to prove ya wrong, but I did it.
Every single piece of me wants to go on another hiking holiday, I loved the camping, the wind and being smelly, although there were ample shower facilities. I really had no excuse to be smelly.
If anyone wants to sponsor another random fu***ng adventure, I’m so down!
