Patagonia Vertical - Chaltén Massif

The Chalten Massif in southern Patagonia, Argentina is home to some of the most iconic peaks in the world, including Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. This alpine playground seduces climbers from all continents. The steep walls of these jagged spiers range from 300 to 1500 meters in height. The massif also has countless classic alpine mountaineering objectives, both snow and ice climbing. This book describes every peak and climb in the area: 485 routes in 75 peaks. While Chalten is not the distant land it once was, the beauty of the peaks, the quality of the rock and the ferocity of the storms remain unchanged, offering climbers real adventures and lasting memories. Includes 120 route sketches, 145 photo sketches and 120 action or panoramic photos. The first edition won the Best Guidebook award at the Banff Film and Book Festival in Canada. This is the third edition, and has been updated and expanded. Valleys: Rio Tunel, Rio Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Rio Electrico, Rio Blanco.
