Went up to Cerro Catedral, which is one of the biggest ski centres in South America. However, being summer the area is a haven for trekkers and mountain bike enthusiasts . I opted for neither and got the cable car up to the top for a great view over the mountains and the town below.
Whilst up at the top I noticed a few people rock climbing so being curious I wandered over to investigate and was given the opportunity to have a go. I haven´t rock climbed since 1985 when a youth club activities holiday.
After a little slip on the first two metres (bit embarrassing), I was up to about 30m. I really enjoyed it, and will no doubt give it a go somewhere else when I get the opportunity.
Spent the evening chatting to a large group of Israelis back at the hostel (Las Marias). Bariloche is a swamped with young Israelis travelling after their military service. According to one, they are thinking of naming the town Israeloche :-)
