Cerro Paine Grande
Cerro Paine Grande is the true highest point of the Cordillera Paine (the Torres del Paine massif) in Chilean Patagonia, at 2,884 m — taller than the more famous granite Torres (towers) spires nearby, which top out around 2,500 m. It is a glaciated, technically demanding peak rising dramatically above Lago Grey and the Francés Valley, in stark contrast to the crowds of trekkers who pass beneath it on the park's popular W and O circuits without attempting the summit. Its elevation was long overestimated (figures of 3,050–3,251 m circulated for decades) until a 2011 GPS survey during its third ascent fixed the modern figure of 2,884 m.
