(Extended Cut) Gastronomic Big Wall Climbing in Patagonia

A lengthier version of the original film with a bit more profanity and a better taste of what the vibe was really like.
Tyler Karow, Imanol Amundarain, and Cedar Christensen pulled off a team free ascent of the South African Route on the East face of the Central Tower of Paine in Patagonia, Chile in January 2023. Despite their typical vigilance for going light, they opted to splurge on quite a few luxuries including excess amounts of wine and a mini cast iron oven that they used to bake muffins, empanadas, and pizzas daily while living in portaledges. They spent a total of ten days on the wall after an initial two days of fixing ropes from the ground.
This 4000 foot line was first climbed in 1974 by a South African team and first freed by Sean Villnueva O'Driscoll, Nico Favrese, and Ben Ditto in 2009 at a grade of 5.12c. This was the second free ascent of the route.

What a great video. I am paralyzed and unfortunately never got into mountain climbing before my spinal cord injury but I am now hooked on watching climbing videos and it really is almost therapeutic getting to watch brave and adventurous people such as you guys and live vicariously through your expeditions. Thanks for sharing this, I watch a lot of climbing videos and documentaries and this one was one of my favorites so far.

sorry about you luck hotwheels, i almost found myself in a chair when i was a kid, very fortunately avoided by a literal 1/4 " of the tabletop of a table saw

This is what the people want Tyler. This is it - no influencer bullshit, just live action shitting on a portaledge. I am satiated. Thank you. **Edit** I've now watched this 5 times total. This is my favorite video on all of KZbin.

[@PIECEofTOAST]

If you care about him as a creator you shouldn't give this kind of advice, the original "bad" video is by far the most viewed video ever published on his channel. I love this content too, but he should just make both styles of video. The original gets the views, and videos like this makes us climbers happy.

[@alpinejonny]

@@PIECEofTOAST Tswift gets more views... should tyler make music videos for the views?

[@PIECEofTOAST]

@@alpinejonny She definitely makes a lot more money that's damn sure lol My comment had nothing to do with it being "better", it had to do with it being good for TK as a creator. More money and views means he can make more and better content for us to enjoy, so we shouldn't be telling him to make videos that get 40k views instead of ones that get 2.1 million.

[@alpinejonny]

@@PIECEofTOAST No one is telling him to do anything. I think my comment was more or less "Thanks Tyler, I love this"

But seeing you guys on that rock, making memories while blasting that song, put a huge smile on my face. Thank you.
