Aguja Saint Exupery, Granite mountain summit in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina.

The Aguja Saint Exupery rises to 2,558 meters, featuring vertical granite walls that extend 800 meters from its base in the Patagonian Andes.

Italian mountaineers Silvia Metzeltin, Gino Buscaini, Lino Condot, Walter Romano, and Silvano Sinigoi completed the first ascent on February 23, 1968.

The summit bears the name of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who flew postal routes through Patagonia from 1929 to 1931.

The climbing season spans from December to February, with El Chaltén serving as the primary base for expeditions to the summit.

The East Pillar route presents an 800-meter vertical ascent through exposed granite faces, requiring advanced technical climbing skills.
