Über diesen Titel

Patagonia's Cerro Torre, considered by many the most beautiful peak in the world, draws the finest and most devoted technical alpinists to its climbing challenges. But controversy has swirled around this ice-capped peak since Cesare Maestri claimed first ascent in 1959. Since then a debate has raged, with world-class climbers attempting to retrace his route but finding only contradictions. This chronicle of hubris, heroism, controversies, and epic journeys offers a glimpse into the human condition, and why some pursue extreme endeavors that at face value have no worth.

Superb narrative on the greatest mistery of modern Alpinism. Deeply researched.
But the narrator pronounces French better than he does Spanish, and that is frankly irritating. It’s about a place in a country that speaks Spanish, have the decency of pronouncing Spanish correctly, please.
