New 36-Pitch Patagonia Big Wall Climb Took 41 Days to Complete

Myles Moser, Trevor Anthes and Harry Kinnard completed a new 36‑pitch free climb on the 4,000‑foot east face of Torres del Paine’s Central Tower after a 41‑day capsule‑style effort. The route combines 29 original pitches with seven sections of the historic Bonnington‑Williams line, creating one of Patagonia’s most demanding big‑wall climbs. The team endured 100 km/h winds, multi‑day snow burial and a ten‑day weather lull before finally linking the summit. Only two short sections were deemed potentially unclimbable, leaving room for future ascents.
