Remember the Italian climbers who opened a new route on Cerro Torre last year by following the same route Cesare Maestri claimed to have run in 1959? The same guys who raised Maestri's ire by claiming they saw no trace of his passage on their way to the summit? Well, they're up to something again.
According to MountEverest.net the three climbers, Ermanno Salvaterra, Alessandro Beltrami, and Rolando Garibotti, have returned to Patagonia on a new, secret, climbing expedition. Apparently the trio have been there since mid-October, training in the Cerro Torre area, and summiting Cerro Standhardt, amidst the crazy Patagonian weather.
At this point, we have no idea what their target is, but it is said to be an ambitious new ascent. Even more so then their new route on Cerro Torre. Any ideas what these guys might be up to? I guess we'll all have to wait to see!
