evidence: The First Ascent of the East Face of Cerro Murallón in Patagonia THE IDEA of attempting Cerro Murallón came to us way back in 2010, even before my first trip to Patagonia. Matteo "Berna" Bernasconi and I both were looking for a big adventure. We were not afraid of failing, just wanting to live the full Patagonian experience. [...] In seven years of trips to Patagonia, Cerro Murallón was my wildest adventure by far. The world felt far away, and I felt small and exposed to the power of nature. I’m looking forward to more expeditions like this, where the climbing, though most important, is still only one of many aspects forming a complete adventure.
