Climbing Fitz Roy, 1968 tells the tale of a six-month excursion to Patagonia,
Chile that changed the lives of three rock climbers who wanted to ascend Cerro
Fitz Roy.
While San Francisco raved through the summer of love, three rock climbers, a
skier and a filmmaker struck out on their own journey. The goal was the ascent
of the iconic Cerro Fitz Roy in Patagonia, Chile. This six-month excursion
resulted in the formation of a groundbreaking movie and several innovative
companies (Patagonia, The North Face, Esprit) and the participants› lifelong
commitment to the environment.
