Video: 'Dardara' first ascent on Aguja Mermoz in Patagonia by Tasio Martin, Ibon Mendia

The video of Basque mountaineers Tasio Martin and Ibon Mendia making the first ascent of 'Dardara' (500m, 7b+?) on Aguja Mermoz in Patagonia.

"Una aventura brutal." During one long day in mid-January 2025 the Basque mountaineers Tasio Martin and Ibon Mendia established Dardara on the east face of Aguja Mermoz in Patagonia.  The pair ventured into the unknown and climbed some incredible pitches on the mountain's east face, leaving just two pegs in-situ.
