Now that we've actually been under the park's iconic granite spires, we wonder what took so long.
One reason it exceeded expectations is the people we shared the experience with: seven fellow Americans (six from California) and two awesome guides from Oneseed Expeditions, Roberto and Nili. Together, we called ourselves The Undulators. (Long story. Don't ask.)
We hope you like photos, because this post has plenty of them.

They call it The Recliner. That's Grey Glacier in the distance. |

This was the beginning a day hike on Grey Glacier. |
This is Joe. He was the first into the ice cave. |
Climbing into the glacier, rather than onto. |
The view from the cave. |
We were so giddy after the ice cave, you would have thought we'd conquered Everest. |
Leaving Grey Glacier. |
It seemed like we were posing like this around every turn. |
At the end of the trail, we caught a catamaran that linked us back up with civilization. But first, one last iconic shot of Torres del Paine. |
