ABOUT THIS BOOK The dramatic Chaltén Massif in southern Patagonia, Argentina, is home to some of the most iconic peaks in the world, including Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. The steep walls of these jagged spires range from 300 to 1500 m, and from enjoyable day climbs to unrepeated horror shows. Although this is not the faraway land it once was, the beauty of the peaks, the quality of the rock and the ferocity of the storms remain unchanged, offering climbers the timeless pursuit of real adventures and lasting memories. It covers the Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre chains, as well as Cordón Adela, Cordón Marconi, Cerro Piergiorgio and the Cerro Pollone group. It is a complete guidebook to the area, describing every peak and climb. The text includes general information, history, approaches, route descriptions, recommended gear, strategy and descents.
368 color pages covering 250 routes in 39 peaks, including 90 topos, 120 photodiagrams (photo-topos) as well as 100 more photos.
