<P> The next morning, January 23rd, brought a pleasant surprised when they discovered that the rime mushroom that had stopped Garibotti and Johnstone's attempt two months before, had fallen off. Haley and Garibotti found the upper "Arca" in worse conditions than Garibotti had encountered in 2005, and were forced to clean much ice from the cracks. Garibotti was forced to place one bolt at a crux pendulum to avoid yet another rime mushroom. Tired from the previous two days and slowed down by the conditions they reached the top of Cerro Torre's north face at 5 PM, and here joined the final pitches of the "Ferrari" route on the west ridge. They climbed two pitches through natural rime tunnels to reach the base of the last pitch, notorious for having turned many climbers around. Haley and Garibotti, both of who had led this final pitch before found it in more difficult condition that they had previously seen. This final pitch is climbed by laboriously digging vertical trenches through the rime, and since no other party had yet attempted it this season, they found the 50-meters of protection-less rime daunting. Haley attempted the pitch in the evening, digging 30 feet of half pipe in one hour before giving up for the day. Under a full moon they bivied one pitch below the Torre summit. "Rested" after a long night shivering, Haley attacked the pitch again, digging a tunnel from the top of his half pipe. He spent three hours completing a 20-meter tunnel inside the mushroom, and exited to finish in a naturally formed tunnel.</P>

<P> 1月23日清晨，他们惊喜的发现曾令Garibotti和Johnstone两个月前的攀登止步的岩石冰帽已脱落。但是当向上爬到 "Arca"段时，他们发现这里的状况比Garibotti 2005年攀登遇到的还要糟糕，不得不停下来将上面的冰面打碎。为避免另一快冰盖，Garibotti还在关键位置打了一个机械赛。前两天体力的过度消耗和一路上冰帽的影响，他们终于在23日下午5点钟到达Cerro Torre峰的北壁顶端并且开始了在西山脊上Ferrari线路的攀登。他们又顺着冰雪的天然石缝爬了两段绳距，到达最后一段绳距的休息点，一个曾经令众多攀登者望而止步的鬼地方。在上来之后他们才体会到这里的难度远远高于他们以往所见到的。要想攀过这里，必须在冰川上上凿出一道道垂直的沟壑。以前从没有人在冬季攀过这里，他们发现一道足有50米长无发设置任何保护点的冰川，危险可想而知。在夜幕下，Haley一个小时内试着挖了30英尺的一段通道后，他们放弃了这一天的征程，停下来休息。满月下，两人在距Torre峰顶仅剩下一段绳距的地方支起帐篷休息。颤抖的过了一夜之后，Haley继续在昨晚挖的沟上工作，三个小时后，他在冰盖上又凿出了一条20米长的沟，从而完成了一条通往峰顶的天然隧道。</P>

<P> At midday on January 24th they reached the summit of Cerro Torre, completing the first ascent of the much-fantasized Torre Traverse. After a short rest they descended the "Compressor Route" along Cerro Torre's southeast ridge to reach the glacier below by evening. For maximum efficiency, Haley and Garibotti divided the leads based on their differing skills, Haley leading the pure ice and rime pitches, and Garibotti leading the rock and rime-covered rock. The follower jumared with a heavy pack, and the leader either climbed with a pack or hauled it depending on the terrain. Because of bad conditions they climbed slower than expected and summited Cerro Torre with no food left. Under ideal weather and conditions, and with the final "Ferrari" pitch already excavated, they feel the traverse could be done significantly faster.</P>

G: ]/ M自助游论坛|旅游论坛|驴友论坛|旅行论坛|户外论坛|<P align=left> Although success on the Torre Traverse has been elusive because of strategy and weather difficulties Garibotti comments that it involves little extreme climbing, with difficulties never above 5.11 and A1. Other than the last "Ferrari" pitch there are no really committing leads. Garibotti feels that the future of Patagonia alpinism lies not in link-ups or traverses but perhaps in alpine style repeats of the inmense routes of the 1980s, such as Silvo Karo and Janez Jeglic's Cerro Torre South Face or their Devil's Directissima on the East Face. Having felt partly responsible for delaying an academic career, Garibotti was relieved upon returning to their bivouac in the Torre valley to hear Haley exclaim, "The Torre Traverse is way better than mineralogy homework!" A big thanks goes to "il Maestro", to Ermanno Salvaterra, for the idea, for the inspiration, and for continuing, 20 years on, to show the way...</P>
