After hiking almost every day for 10 days, on Saturday I did the 8 hour steep hike to the base of the towers in Torres del Paine. My legs are just now recovering.
••
We walked on narrow cliff side paths completely exposed to howling winds, I genuinely felt I was going to be thrown off the mountain at a couple of points and lost my mind a little, clambered up rocks towards the peak, and on the way down my ankles started giving out completely as we approached the end.
••
But it was incredibly worth it to reach this awe-inspiring sight. Some people don’t understand the appeal of hiking and climbing up and putting your body through all that - and I get where they’re coming from - but I love going through this kind of physical test and being rewarded with a beautiful vista at the end.
••
What’s the most memorable hike you’ve ever done?
