Rising as a near-vertical granite spire in Argentine Patagonia, Cerro Torre is one of climbing's most fearsome summits, often crowned with a fragile mushroom of rime ice.
Even from the trails around El Chalten, glimpsing its needle through the region's relentless wind and cloud feels like a reward.
