Reinhold Messner et le Cerro Torre - Enquête sur une ascension en Patagonie

"Cerro Torre" is about the first ascent of Cerro Torre in Patagonia, Argentina. There is chaos, storm and avalanches. There were two, but only one man descends. Perhaps he is loosing his mind, but he doesn´t want to die. He keeps peeking after his comrade. Will he come back from the abyss? No, there´s only the wind, the snow drift. It is February 3, 1959, the half-dead is Cesare Maestri, found huddeld in the snow later by a member of the expedition. His partner Toni Egger became a victim of the mountain. Had Egger and Maestri reached the "almost unreal giant pillar", the "most difficult mountain in the world"? - As they claim! All indications say: No! The ice ax of Toni Egger, found in 1974 at the edge of the glacier, is proof enaugh that not. 1970 – more than one decade later - Maestri climbs again with Cesarino Faber, who came up with an incredible story that is probably far beyond the truth. Reinhold Messner met with the remainig witnesses and solves the last secret of Cerro Torre.
