Hansjörg Auer and Much Mayr add new route to Torres del Paine, Patagonia

The formidable Austrians, who have teamed up together for extreme climbs from the Dolomites to Oman, sent the following brief report about their "Waiting for Godot" (750m, 7b) "the weather was really poor and conditions on the wall miserable, but nevertheless we managed to climb a new route.

Stay tuned, a full report will be published shortly. In the meantime, if you haven't seen it ye, we recommend this video interview with Hansjörg Auer after his mind-blowing solo of the Fish route on the Marmolada, Dolomites.
