Cerro Torre is one of the most difficult, isolated and iconic mountains on the planet. It rises to an altitude of 3,128 meters above sea level. It straddles the border between Chile and Argentina in the Southern Patagonia in South America.
Cerro Torre soars nearly 1,524 meters from base to summit. The peak is the highest of a four mountain chain: the other peaks are Torre Egger, Punta Herron, and Cerro Standhardt. The top of Cerro Torre often has a mushroom of rime ice, formed by the constant strong winds, increasing the difficulty of reaching the actual summit.
In January of 2022, two world class alpinists from Italy and Argentina started their bid to open a new route on Cerro Torre's difficult north face. They made it to the top but tragedy struck on the descent. This is their fateful story.
