Bert stands by our campsite in the trees near Cerro Torre. Although the weather was mostly clear and sunny, some clouds hung around the top of the mountain, hiding our view. So we eat a large, cooked meal and all sit together in view of Cerro Torre on a wooden bench with the late afternoon sun warming our skin. It's so quiet and peaceful after three days of backpacking. We close our eyes and fall asleep.

Passing hikers wake us. Eventually, we hike to the Cerro Torre Lookout, but it's still hidden as the evening sun disappears. We have another meal and talk politics before heading to bed.
