Man Triumphs over Snowstorm in Patagonia

I never met this guy who rocked shorts with a massive amount of fortitude, but we shared some of the same boulders down to the lake. His yellow jacket stood out in this gnarly storm and always made me smile. We hiked over 3,500ft while being battered by rain and snow in hopes of relishing in front of the formidable Mount Fitz Roy. It never lifted.
