We travel to Patagonia with four Swiss mountaineers. Thomas Ulrich, one of the four and worldwide known adventure and outdoor photographer, tells us the tale of this journey.
It’s winter and the four accomplished mountaineers want to climb one of the most famous routes: the so called “Maestri-Egger” on Cerro Torre. 1959, Cesare Maestri and Toni Egger did the first ascent of this beautiful ice and granit needle via the east and north faces. Egger died on the descent in an avalanche. Although many climbers tried to do it, the route hasn’t been repeated since then. Our protagonists – David Fasel, Michal Pitelka, Stephan Siegrist and Thomas Ulrich – have a lot of experience in Patagonian climbing in winter and summer. But this time, the mountain turns them back. That doesn’t mean they don’t have a lot of fun. This film is a homage to friendship, happiness, the beauty of nature – and to the performances of alpinists such as Casimiro Ferrari (a famous Italian pioneer they encounter on their way), Cesare Maestri and Cesarino Fava.
