Cerro Torre Climb & Fly

Cerro Torre Climb & Fly - with Roger Schäli, Pablo Pontoriero and Mario Heller

The tales told about this majestic mountain and the incredible climbing on offer are legendary. The West Face route with its long glacier approach through the Circo de los Altares certainly feels ‘out there’. That the whole team were able to take off from the summit with their paragliders is a testament to their skill, both as climbers and as pilots.

After recovering from covid 19 they start the approach towards the mountain, crossing the Marconi pass before running into friends with whom they form a strong alliance. After another 3 days they reach the summit which is just big enough to lunch with the paragliders. The tension is high. Pablo is first in line.

Director Biography - Mario Heller

Mario Heller is a passionate climber, paragliding pilot, filmmaker and photographer from Switzerland. He is always on the lookout for new and interesting challenges, whether it be pushing his limits at the local crags, finding new climb & fly adventures in his home mountains or making bold, alpine-style ascents in far off Patagonia. The combination of his high skill set and boundless charisma makes Mario a valuable part of any team; equally at home behind the camera – or on the sharp end in front of it.
