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.

A delightful bòok brilliantly illustrated
At last the truth as best we can tell about Maestri's tragic climb with Toni Egger on the haunting spire of Cerro Torre - the most difficult peak in the world (allegedly !). We also learn of the events leading to the creation of the compressor route and the authors belief that even this climb never even reached the summit. A must for all climbers fascinated or even those mildly curious over the history of this amazing mountain
