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 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. 😁

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

    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...
