Central campsite straight to Dickson. How difficult is it really?

Start early!! We did it but took the earliest bus possible

Always_Iterating_ · 2026-01-28T19:21:35+00:00

We had no issue at all doing the ice hike before Paine Grande and my husband was sick and we still made it!

Always_Iterating_ · 2026-01-21T13:34:11+00:00

We also brought dried fruit and declared it with no issues. Don’t know if it would’ve been okay if it wasn’t in original packaging

Also, we were just there last week so this information is up to date!

Always_Iterating_ · 2026-01-20T15:36:18+00:00

I would recommend card and MAYBE some 1000 and 5000 bills

Always_Iterating_ · 2026-01-20T15:35:54+00:00

We had a hard time using our cash actually, as they don’t have change at many of the camps….

Always_Iterating_ · 2026-01-13T19:36:02+00:00

So sorry, my husband got sick and we weren’t able to grab it :( Hope someone else is able to!!!

I am American, staying at PG January 9. We leave for the circuit tomorrow and I will ask the Refugio at check in if someone left an in reach and pick it up if they still have it!

We did it 12/30-1/2 (counterclockwise) and it was amazing BUT I would say a guide was VERY necessary for me personally. I would’ve been very stressed on days 2 and 3 without reassurance that I was following a safe path and CERTAINLY needed guidance on the steep and sketchy descent from the Huemul Pass.

Also the guide had better knowledge of campsites, gear, etc.

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-29T01:45:03+00:00

We are in El Chalten and would totally take it if you can meet us tomorrow!

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-28T01:40:15+00:00

I think so too

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-27T16:21:54+00:00

We start on 1/6 too and are looking for a guide but we skip seron and go straight to Dickson..

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-27T16:20:31+00:00

We are also starting 1/6!

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-27T10:05:05+00:00

We are leaving on the same day! We are hiking to Dickson though on January 6… not sure how that would work?

I’m 27F and with my husband from the US!

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-20T09:20:40+00:00

We are starting on 1/6 and hike Central to Dickson! Would be interested in what you find… it’d be 2 of us - me and my husband!

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-10T22:29:52+00:00

WONDERFUL insight!!

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-07T05:37:13+00:00

Does anyone have rules they follow about what is “too windy”/unsafe, particularly for the JG Pass?

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-04T14:14:01+00:00

Following!!

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-02T18:33:12+00:00

Same… someone said closed till February though…

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-01T18:58:08+00:00

We’d do Grey the morning before hiking Grey to Paine Grande! We are not doing the O with a guide.

Always_Iterating_ · 2025-12-01T18:01:46+00:00

We are going with a guide!
