Topographic Architecture of Torres del Paine
Torres del Paine is a world-renowned complex of vertical granite towers rising to 2,500 metres in Chilean Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. The three primary monoliths—Torre Sur (2,500 m), Torre Central (2,460 m), and Torre Norte (2,260 m)—plunge sheer down to glacial lakes and moraines, battered by legendary Roaring Forties gales. Italian guides led by Armando Aste first conquered Torre Sur in 1963, while British alpine legends Chris Bonington and Don Whillans won an epic international race to make the first ascent of the sheer 800-metre east face of Torre Central in January 1963.
