Description Suggest change

Bariloche is a mid sized town with a full size climbing problem located in Patagonia near the border with Chile. Opportunities for climbing abound in the surrounding mountains and countryside. Bariloche has sport climbing of all levels up to 5.14 and various rock types. Hike a few hours to enjoy trad climbing at the alpine granite playground of Frey.

The local guidebook Bariloche Vertical was last published in 2016 and is currently out of print. There is an online pdf that most local climbers have. You can find a Frey guidebook online and at local retail stores.

On rainy or cold days there are a few local climbing gyms scattered throughout town. Check out La Luna Muro at km 7.5, Muro del Nahuel in the Centro, and Crux at km 4.

Getting There Suggest change

Daily flights originate from all over South America. Other options include bus from Osorno, Chile or various towns throughout Argentina.
