Climbing Cerro Chalten (Fitz Roy) via the Franco-Argentina
Фильм және анимация
Chris Farrah and I set off to climb Fitz Roy via the historic Franco-Argentina route up the southeast face of the mountain. This was my first climb in the Chalten Massif and it was a very humbling experience even though we bagged a summit. We climbed the route in a 22 hour push from Paso Superior on February 4, 2022 and spent the following 4 or so days in isolation recovering from COVID.
Billy and Sam summited only a couple hours after us but ended up open bivying at La Silla. They came back to camp at Paso Superior the next morning in the rain after what sounded like a miserable night. This place is otherworldly.

I don’t understand why these videos don’t get more views. As a climber this is the exact content I look for all the time

I agree, this video should have a whole lot more views. Unfortunately, more people prefer to watch what the Kardashians are having for dinner or what they're wearing.

22 hours with no water and covid?! That sounds like some real type 2 fun. First Covid ascent😂. Congrats guys that's a huge accomplishment! Gorgeous views!

❓🤔 I just don't see why they needed all that equipment and excessive clothing.... Personally, when i climb this mountain(again, for the 7th time), I wear shorts, a t-shirt and flip-flops! I do wear a fanny pack, but only so I can fill it with 20-30lbs of lead fishing weights to make the trek more challenging, and ensure it won't be too easy. Sometimes I carry an old, rusty Phillips screwdriver with me, as a makeshift ice axe. As far as food is concerned, that's the easy part. I take down high-flying hawks by throwing rocks at them. Then I clean and cook them coated in "Shake & Bake" poultry seasoning, in a frying pan whittled out of a rock. 😁

I climbed this route in 1993... thank for bringing me back to that moment. congratulations for the ascent!
Not a climber, just a hiker. Was at the lake viewpoint at the end of the maintained trail couple weeks ago. The perspective this video gives of just how far away we still were from that summit is mind-blowing. This is spectacular, and props for summitting.
The good news is no water is lighter! Thanks for sharing.
No water ☑️ Covid ☑️ Ascend thousands of feet above a glacier in 22hrs ☑️ I’m no climber, but your content is nothing short of amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this epic journey, I absolutely love the stuff that you’ve been sharing recently!
That place looks absolutely amazing! Congratulations on sending Fitz. Stoked for every video you put out!
This is SO SICK!!! woaaaahhh loved it, thanks for sharing!
Dude all your videos are unreal! Thanks for showing us how its done!
This is just amazing! So happy to have randomly found your channel as eache video is 10 times better than the previous. Ad Maiora!
I love the sounds of climbing. Gives me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for sharing! Respect
"Are you an alpinist?" Glad to see I'm not the only one that sarcastically inflates our abilities to keep the mood up with my partner!

just amazing!!! congrats boys.this route is a dream
Amazing video guys! Beautiful views and if I had the confidence you guys did to climb to the top like that this would absolutely be on my bucket list! That had to be an adrenaline rush for sure. Thanks for sharing.
My ice climbing instructor had some great stories about his Fitz accent while we were touring on the Deming glacier of Mt Baker. This makes me jealous!! Congrats!
awesome video, was right there with you guys, sounds of the mountain made me feel I am there, stunning views, thanks mucho, love how you did not make a fuss about covid, ....... mountain spirit trumps everything ..
That's just glorious beautiful alpine climbing got everything ice snow .rock sunshine..great acent. Climb well .👍😁
Wooow....,congratulations, well done, thank you for sharing.
Simplesmente incrível. Sem palavras para descrever o que eles fizeram. Parabéns pra eles!!!! Quem esteve no pé do Fitz Roy sabe a dificuldade daquele lugar, imaginem conseguir subir o Fitz Roy. Incrível demais.
This is crazy, amazing, love it!
Awesome! You guys are the best, thats the way to do it. Great fun, summit, all. I would of liked to climb with you. Take care bros.
Dude that’s so cool, keep it up, love it so much
So fun to watch!!!!!!!! Great content fellas
This is one of the most impressive videos that I've ever seen!
Amazing landscape, amazing climb!
The weather! Holy hell! Strong work.
Espectacular. Felicitaciones !!!!!
Amazing good and engaging video. Hats off to the team
I was wondering how and when you were going to start your season, should’ve figured out the southern summer is the northern winter, or something like that.... awesome dude you and your bros are climbing big stuff in fine style.... the “Fun Hogs” in pata-go-nadd 🐺👍🌞👊✅🍀
Amazing channel, your climbings are crazy, footage excellent 👏
That is rad you guys! Nice work!
Insane footage, nice job boys!
Nice video, gorgeous mountains.
7:29 making me visualize myself being there. inspirational. Thanks dude. also entertaining as hell!
Many thanks for sharing, 🥰
Props wow!! I love hiking. I saw a photo of this mountain pop up on my desktop screen saver. I had to look it up. Had to see if people hike it. Found your vid. Turns out it's not really hiking, it's climbing lol this looked so sketchy, gave me so much anxiety. I would never do this. I'll stick to the Colorado 14ers lol That view at the top was amazing though. And glad for you guys that all the clouds disappeared when at the summit for the best view
Ive been mountaineering with covid, that shit absolutely blows. Super impressed by the level of psych you guys manage to retain. Great job
That’s insane! Can’t wait to show the Outside Your Zone boys this. Loved the viddie.
Amazing video, nice job!
You make it look so simply
Insanely good video!
I can feel the excitement from here 🗻💙
So spectacular!
Bravo Boys 👏👏👏👏. You are the best 👍.
One of the best videos yet. No water, dude.
I came here looking for who had climbed Fitz Roy. Now I would like to see one of Aconcagua. Congratulations. There is no way I would do this, but it's good to see you happy and alives. .
Throats? Fairly normal symptom of altitude... Jeez guys, thats some proper alpine climbing... Haven't seen anything from you for a while and now this...great!
Shew, living through you! Cheers.
Dude that was sick!
Amazing view 😍
this is amazing!
Wow man... just wow. I'm a new climber and I found your channel right as I started. This was insane lol, everyone has covid, and y'all are still smiling and having a great ass time AND without freakin water. Such an inspiring group of people! Love all the videos man! Also, did you take down the first video of this series? It was like 30 minutes or so.. I had 10 mins left of watching :(
Pure alpine adventure very long day.
A fantastic film 4.5 billion years in the making. Stunning scenery, thanks for doing the heavy lifting! Rock On! Pun intended.
Sick send guys 👌🤙
Hey Tyler! So this morning I'm flailing up easy 11a stuff near Stinson Beach on a warm sunny California day and come home feeling beat and sore. And then I get online and watch you doing this! So badass. Glad I got to climb with you while you were still doing "easy" stuff, like El Cap :-D

2nd viewing...looking round, where's the mushrooms of ice? Those are always on show.Now you guys have just done fitzroy in rock boots, FFS!! That place was so bad ass, a big european bootmaker called their premier mountain/ice climbing boot "Fitzroy"...back in the day, admittedly. All in all Tyler, a superb bit of climbing movie making.It really does emphasise the changes being made in mountaineering. Fitzroy,cerro tore etc? I still have books written about teams spending weeks trying to do what you just did in 24hours. You simply treated it as a valley day out ( with a few pitches of ice thrown in )...awesome mate... Kudos to you and your buddies...

Mushrooms are in the Torres. The fitz roy peaks are known to be much drier than the Torres but still have plenty of snow and ice
Inspiring! I wanted to see what it takes to go to the top. I’m only a hiker to the glacial pond which was covered in the first 9 seconds 😂
You guys are extreme!
Dude you did it you made it and you sent it. Congrats from working a regular job to crushing in SA rad.
So damn gnarly.
This channel is such a breath of fresh air. Keep killing it guys! And with covid?? And no water for 22 hours??? 😂😂😂
Nice climb guys. That was my first climb there at 16
