Exploring Patagonia - Impossible Mountain Michael Shmelev, Russia Surprisingly, in the vicinity of the village of El Chalten - trekking mecca National Park Los Glaciares, above the endless ice fields dominate just two quite similar to each other vertex. First - Fitzroy - I have already shown, but the second is constantly hiding under the shadow of heavy clouds despite the fact that is located just four kilometers west of the "smoking mountain". Only two weeks later I was able to see her clean. The second peak - the legendary Cerro Torre. It is one of the most difficult in the world, and certainly, is among the most beautiful. The height of the mountain (3102m) may not seem particularly large, if not the height of the granite tusk in excess of 1200 m above the glacier. Technical difficulty climbing the steep granite wall combined with the incredibly complex and unpredictable weather these places - here are blowing strong winds, accompanied by large changes in temperature. The picture shows what a noble colour in the light of dawn gives this mountain snowy gray hair, covering the top, like a powder. It looks like a frozen ice on the wall surface, reaching tens of meters thick. They are called mushrooms, or ice "mushrooms", it is extremely dangerous for climbers. Lionel Terran first conquered Fitzroy in 1952, called the Cerro Torre «Impossible mountain." The history of the past century mountaineering fully confirms his words. It is believed that the first time to the top of Cerro Torre man rose in 1959. Website = photosociety.net Page 28 email = magazine@photosociety.net
They were Italian climber Cesare Maestri, but the technical complexity of the claimed route and the lack of photographic evidence raised doubts that the peak was conquered. To confirm his words, Maestri returned to the foot of Cerro Torre in 1970 as part of a large expedition. Within two months of work on the wall he was using gasoline compressor scored in the bolt granite about four hooks with which he almost managed to get to the top, but the road was blocked "ice mushrooms." Maestri was forced to retreat, but, later, still counted himself the second ascent. He explained his position that "mushrooms are not top and ever will melt." In February 2012, the Americans Hayden Kennedy and Jason Kruk passed "Compressor route", without using pitons hammered Maestri. On the descent from the summit they removed more than a hundred bolts, explaining his decision by saying that "climbing should be clean." Werner Herzog took on the top of Cerro Torre his film "Stone cry." Michael Shmelev Kuyimba means 'to sing' in the Zambian Chinyanja language and this site is a celebration of the sights and sounds of southern Africa. Join us to experience it for yourself.
