10 Days of fun alpine climbing in Patagonia with Merlin - Strongly Recommended!!!
I couldn't be happier with our trip in Patagonia. Merlin was the best guide! I was particularly impressed with his skills to understand the ever-changing crazy Patagonia weather.
I have climbed countless times in the Alps as well as in the US and Canada. For all the guides I have hired, Merlin is at the top.
I totally recommend him and I would love to climb again with him.

Alpine Ascent of Aguja Guillaumet
Spectacular 3 days with Merlin. On a busy day, we quickly and efficiently ascended to the summit as one of the first groups.
With decades of experience in the Fitz Roy region, Merlin made this a safe and exciting adventure. Will climb again with him next year. English is fantastic.

Rock climbing in Chaltén
Merlin was an exceptional guide - safety first & lots of instruction. Climbed about 10 sport routes with him from 5.8 to 5.9.
The rock was great, route choices great! What could be better than rock climbing with Fitz Roy looming in the background! Merlin’s professionalism added to the experience.

Excellent Outfit
The pictures on the website do not do this place justice and I cannot imagine a better company to help you experience Patagonia.
We did the Basecamp trek and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Merlin and his team were exceptional. Juan was our guide on the trek and he truly was first class. I would ask for him as your guide. If I ever return to El Chalten I will contract Mountaineering Patagonia again. Great team! Wonderful experience!

Trip of a lifetime in el chalten
We skied backcountry with merlin on our 2019 ski trip to El Chalten, he is an expert in the area, read the group well and has top notch mountain skills.

Merlin is an amazing guide and an awesome guy, who the entire group plan on using again in the near future. thanks Merlin!

Ski touring in Patagonia
Merlin is a fantastic guide and all around great guy. Made our trip super fun and safe. Ski toured in the mountains around El Chaltén and from start to finish Merlin went over and above. Can’t recommend him highly enough. 

Ski mountaineering in El Chaltén
A small group of us recently had the privilege to spend a week with Merlin skiing up and down the peaks near Fitz Roy.

Merlin’s combination of top-notch skills and enthusiasm for helping his clients enjoy the mountains makes him one of the best mountain guides I’ve encountered

10 Days Mountaineering in Patagonia
I'd strongly recommend Merlin to anyone considering a trek or mountaineering trip in El Chaltén. His combination of local knowledge, mountaineering experience and logistical abilities make him the obvious choice for any trips here.
