A Patagonia Epic with Colin Haley (An Attempt of El Corazón on Fitz)
Vložit

- Colin Haley and I attempted to climb the East Face of Cerro Chaltén (Fitz Roy) in a push during a marginal weather window but were forced to bail with only 4 pitches of moderate rock to the summit snow slopes due to a storm.
For those interested in a longer write up, here is a draft of the trip report from my perspective:

I am Marcos's brother. This past month, after he passed away I've been trying to make sense of the risks climbers take when facing this tough challenges. Hopefully after looking at many videos I found your channel and it helped me realize what a beautiful passion you guys have. The contact with nature, the techincal and physical challenges, the desire to be better, the fun, and those views! I'll keep watching your videos so I can understand even more and feel closer to my brother, thank you for the dedication and stay strong Tyler.
Felipe, I'm glad you can seek out and see what your brother was so passionate about. Every interaction I've had with him since we met last year was so positive. My first day in El Chalten this season, I was hitch hiking to the trailhead to do the Care Bear Traverse and the first car that we saw on the road was Marcos. He pulled over and picked us up. I had been messaging back and forth with him and I got so excited when I ran into him organically.
@@tylerkarow Makes me really happy to hear that :)
Sorry for your loss man.
Glad to see Tyler back on the rock. And teamed with Colin Haley!
A small comment: props to the editing. No emotive music, no OTT drone footage. Just fast, effective story telling. This is what it feels like (to me) in the mountains. I wish more people would cut like this. RIP Marcos.
I'm glad you made it safe to camp. I imagine how careful and focus you need to stay for 10 hours of raps in the dark and shitty weather. Your skills and determination are truly impressive and inspiring. When i see a new video uploaded on your channel, it feels always like Christmas. Keep crushing and sharing Tyler !
I'm not a climber but I think you're my all time favorite CZcams channel. I'm freakin thrilled you're back. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us
13:29 and most importantly, alive.
Edit: I had commented in real time before the end of the video. My condolences, respect, and love to Marcos Gorositaga.
Two of my favourite climbers in the same video!
Glad you both made it down.
🤘🏽

Please don't die ♥
Well done, quality on this one was top notch. Glad your safe back in the states
Fantastic video, what beautiful views & clarity of those granite towers...WOW!!! Summit or no summit you had a fantastic journey and thats what I would take from it if I could do this. Add in you are both alive and healthy and one can not ask for more. Great stuff...thank you for posting.
Hey Tyler, it was great catching up with you last Fall in Yosemite and I'm psyched to see you climbing on your channel again! Great stuff!

Super cool pegue, and we're going to miss Marcos (aka he-man) so much!!!! Thanks for reminding us of our good friend!!! Greetings from Bariloche
Amazing video! My climbing partner always says that "the summit lays at the base camp". Glad that you made it back in one piece :)
I have a partner who says it’s over when everyone is in the shower!
Thank you

That was amazing thanks
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! CHAPEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Supermasters!!!!
The decision to get off was absolutely right, exact!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!
BEST WISHES:
Amazing
Epic climb!
Impressive gents!
Awesome video. I feel like flying off somehow is the way to go at the top. Forget carrying extra food just bring a parachute
Amazing........
wow this is epic!
Wish I could do this but I just don’t see myself capable without a nervous breakdown I will never quite understand how people can do this stuff as much as I wish I could.
Ahah good to see the boys Bradford and Tom in there!
awesome video subscribed
good, decision. live to climb another day.
10 hours of rappelling holy shit
Marcos will be missed by a lot of people for a long time.
Tyler, great video. Any chance your could share you rack for this climb? Or your typical rack when alpine climbing? Thank you.
Mountaineering is like jazz. It’s about the summits you don’t push.
9:20 "This is rather extreme for an alpinist"
Is he complaining about jugging the thin tag line or having to carry the #4
Epic.
This channel is underrated.
Awesome video, great work!! Out of curiosity, why a 32m tag vs 70? Just weight? Too much rope management pfaffery?
Hey Tyler I know you don't do videos like this but I would love to hear your thoughts on risk in the mountains. Especially given this season. Maybe you could write it up oneday in a description or Instagram post
I plan to write up some stuff on the subject
Good work gents; hard call to make being that high up but the right one, nonetheless. Tyler, what's your initial impression of that Samaya tent after this mission? Thanks.
It’s pretty sweet. Seems burley enough and super light
@@tylerkarow Hopefully it vents a bit better than other single-walled offerings. Thanks dude!
Guys, is it possible to do what you are doing in less than a year learning and training hard from scratch? I am passionate about climbing but I live in an area without heights so training in the mountains is not possible for me. My plan was to train hard for a year learning the techniques needed to climb and go to some not so big mountain in the Andes.
I gotta wonder on the top of Fitz there's likely a few sizeable rocks to bivvy behind. I'm sure some folks must have had a rough night up there.
Niche gear question- You've replaced the rope on your Petzl Connect and then tied the bottom end directly into your harness? Do you find this to work well?
yup
nice
Fuckin love your vids. Never climbed in my life. I make music, but u make me wanna climb an maybe wine to send u guys
Tyler were was this in Colin's season was this before or after he solod super can?
after
@@tylerkarow your a legend from 6 years ago just starting your CZcams climbing journey to Patagonia with Colin who spent his whole life on glaciated peaks. Keep crushing and having a blast cant wait to see whats next!
Hows the Samaya?
Why ?
If you want to show your mom about what alpinism is about, tell her to watch this.
If it was important, to save someone or myself, yeah, climb that dangerous bastard. For fun and fitness, don't cry for ego chasing gamblers.
why are all male alpinists so attractive wtf
meat and cheese money shot, shirtless men in a small tent, what more could we ask for?
The most enjoying sounding Yeah’s ever! From the camera man , Had to stop watching around 4 minutes
Sausage fest.
We are robbers, liars, adulterers, sinners, when we go to the court, the only way to pay for what we did is to go to prison (you can’t do good deeds to repay the bad you’ve already done, you have to face the consequences of your actions), if our sin was done against a policeman, the time spent in prison will be higher; judge higher, president; higher, the punishment against God is eternal prison, but if we have someone that will pay our debt we will be set free and this person is Jesus Christ. If you accept in your heart that He died for your sins, today, you will be saved and you’ll never be able to lose your salvation.
