Renting gear in argentina?

Hey all,

Does any bright mind here know where i could hire gear around bariloche, chalten or mendoza argentina. Desperately need to climb and i left all my gear at home, and would preferrably not like to take a tour guide.

thankyou.

There is some place in chalten that rents crashpads and ropes maybe. Mendoza has a shop in one of the squares that rents basics for Aconcagua climbs. 

its been two years since I was down there and my personal experience might be outdated today; however, at the time I was told there are rental places and when checking them out, out of curiosity, I was so glad I had hauled in my own gear ... also, your chances of finding rental gear are _much_ better in el calafate rather than el chalten.

I was in el chalten in 2014 and found a spot that rented me full sport gear inc. rope so I could satisfy the climbing itch while down there. Can’t remember the name but it was one of the bigger shops on the main road

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated
