  • Chris Farrah and I set off to climb Fitz Roy via the historic Franco-Argentina route up the southeast face of the mountain. This was my first climb in the Chalten Massif and it was a very humbling experience even though we bagged a summit. We climbed the route in a 22 hour push from Paso Superior on February 4, 2022 and spent the following 4 or so days in isolation recovering from COVID.
    Billy and Sam summited only a couple hours after us but ended up open bivying at La Silla. They came back to camp at Paso Superior the next morning in the rain after what sounded like a miserable night. This place is otherworldly.

    I don’t understand why these videos don’t get more views. As a climber this is the exact content I look for all the time

    22 hours with no water and covid?! That sounds like some real type 2 fun. First Covid ascent😂. Congrats guys that's a huge accomplishment! Gorgeous views!

    "Are you an alpinist?" Glad to see I'm not the only one that sarcastically inflates our abilities to keep the mood up with my partner!

    Grigoes don't even hug when they complete such a prowess like this. A touch of hands is enough. Boy gringoes are cold!

    Not a climber, just a hiker. Was at the lake viewpoint at the end of the maintained trail couple weeks ago. The perspective this video gives of just how far away we still were from that summit is mind-blowing. This is spectacular, and props for summitting.

    All mountains are petrified giant wood stumps all minerals xome from these tree stumps you can confirm these, by watching hangman videos and also biblical trees on you tube

    I suppose came all that way to climb wouldn't let COVID stop you but not wise to do such with fatigue and reduced lung capacity in high altitude. It was risky.

    My ice climbing instructor had some great stories about his Fitz accent while we were touring on the Deming glacier of Mt Baker. This makes me jealous!! Congrats!
