They Have Climbed The Most Dangerous Mountains In Patagonia - And Keep Doing So

They are only 24 and 27 years old and they keep breaking records. Juan and Cristobal Señoret are among the most famous climbers in South America.

If you know Patagonia, you must know Mt. Fitzroy (Argentina), Cerro Torre (Argentina) and Torres del Paine (Chile), ranked among the most difficult mountains to climb in the world. Well, they climbed all of them.

Their photography may cause you dizziness, so you’d better be careful. The Señoret brothers recently connected the 3 towers in Torres del Paine National Park: they were the 4th group in history to do so. They escaped from the worst a few times: on the climb of Argentina’s Cerro Torre (3128m/10,262ft), Juan was knocked unconscious by a block of ice of 25 kilos, only 70 meters away before the summit. Not enough to scare them: the ascent took them a week, but they successfully conquered the ice peak.

Cristobal has climbed Mt. Fitzroy twice. The mountain is said to be one of the most technical in the world. As for the unpredictable weather of Patagonia, it will not stop them. “One time is not enough. We’ll climb these mountains again and again.”
