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.

The best mountaineering book so far, I could not stop listeting. Plus the narrator is at least as great as the story...100+ stars :-)

Even 100 stars is not enough!

A fair number of mispronounced names and words is distracting particularly the word ‘piton’ which obvious is frequently used in the book.

Great history

I like the detail but was disappointed by his comments regarding too many tourists visiting Patagonia and Estes Park - both places are fantastic and of course need careful management but outsiders should leave this to local people !!

Good story teller
