Dave Nettle’s “Patagonia – A Climbers Journey”
Climbing in Patagonia is an alpine climber’s dream…and curse. When the weather is good the sky is an amazing, brilliant blue, the sun warmed granite is perfect and the long, technical routes are world class. But, it’s also where the wind is regularly so fierce it’s called “the broom of the gods” and violent snowstorms blowing in across the Patagonian Ice Cap appear suddenly and rage for days or even weeks at a time.
Join Dave Nettle as he recounts some of his more memorable, challenging and humorous adventures and ascents from 30 years of climbing in Patagonia, including the iconic spires of Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Poincenot, the Central Tower of Paine, and a present day expedition to Torres del Paine.
