Cerro Torre  

Posted by CosmicTripper in , , , , , , ,


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.
