Patagonia dreams
Posted by CosmicTripper in Argentina, Belgian, Chile, Climbing, El Chalten, Fitz Roy, Torres del Paine
Four young belgian climbers embark on an expedition in Patagonia in 2006. They climbed the mythical route "Riders in the storm" (Torres del Paine) in Chile and attempted to climb the majestic "Fitz Roy" (or El Chalten) in Argentina.
Be ready to dream about endless rock faces in the most beautiful environment.

Cerro Torre
Posted by CosmicTripper in Alpinist, Andes, Argentina, Cerro Torre, Climbing, Hight, Patagonia, Risk
An Italian Team climbed the famous Patagonian Cerro Torre in 2004 and shot this video of their difficult ascent.
Cerro Torre is one of the most spectacular mountains of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in South America. It is located in a region which is disputed between Argentina and Chile[1], west of Cerro Chalten (also known as Fitz Roy). The peak is the highest in a four mountain chain: the other peaks are Torre Egger, Punta Herron, and Cerro Stanhardt. The top of the mountain often has a mushroom of rime ice, formed by the constant strong winds, increasing the difficulty of reaching the actual summit.
