Topographic Architecture of Torre Egger
Torre Egger is an extraordinarily steep granite needle rising to 2,685 meters in the Cerro Torre group of Patagonia, situated between Cerro Torre and Aguja Standhardt. Named in memory of Austrian climber Toni Egger who perished on Cerro Torre in 1959, the spire is widely considered by elite alpinists to be technically harder than Cerro Torre itself due to unbroken vertical granite walls, hanging ice daggers, and brutal weather. It was first climbed in December 1976 by Americans Jim Donini, John Bragg, and Michael de la Yane, and achieved international fame when Canadian solo sensation Marc-André Leclerc completed the historic first solo winter ascent in September 2016.
