Via del Tehuelche up the North Face of Fitz Roy, Patagonia was first ascended using fixed ropes by Marco Sterni and his Italian team in 1986 but they were forced to turn back 100m short of the summit due to fierce winds on the final ridge. The formidable 1300m line, named after the original Indian inhabitants of Patagonia, was first summited a decade later by Rolando Garibotti and Doug Byerly in a two-day alpine style ascent.
