One mountaineer, one mountain, one dream: a succinct description of the success of the Mammut Proteam athlete David Lama on the granite peak of Cerro Torre in Patagonia. After two unsuccessful attempts in the previous two years, the Tyrolean climber set off once again at the start of this year and became the first climber ever to free climb the legendary Compressor Route over the south-east ridge of Cerro Torre to reach the summit at 3,128 meters.
In an exclusive interview, David tells us about his experiences in Patagonia and sums up his alpine dream in a few simple but clear words: “Patagonia was great!”
mindsets on exactly what an adventure is, all based around your interest. To one a lengthy logistical ice-climbing expedition to Patagonia might just be your choice. While to another a simple loading up the car and head out to climb Devils Tower over a long weekend is your extended idea of an adventure. Whatever it is as long as you are out traveling in your own style is all that matters. We only ask that you get to know the locals and immerse yourself into the local culture while you are there, where ever there might be. Take some time from your adventure and meet with the natives, stay with a host family, and engage in some local practices. You will be absolutely awe struck by the experience that you will gain.
