Written by After our trip to Lanin I had a couple of rest days in Bariloche then with good freeze thaw spring cycles decided to go solo and attempt the Frey-Jakob-Lopez loop in 2 days. 
Good food at beer at Manush.
The view from the watershed looking down to Jakob on the peninsular on the right side of the lake.
Looking out the hut window you are greeted with the face you have to climb the next day.
During the long hut night the guardian Claudio’s daughter does her homework by candlelight.
The stars were amazing, shame my photo isn’t!
This face shut me down. After climbing steep neve up a ramp from right to left I encountered deep unbonded powder on ice at the level of the buttress in the upper centre of the face and had to downclimb. 
The 45 degree skyline ridge on the left is the face you have to climb to get access to the plateau.
Final ski back towards Catedral.

Great photos! This makes me miss winter vacation. I missed traveling for a ski trip. Hope this winter we could go back traveling. : )
