Fitzroy - Patagonia

Season 1 Episode 109 | 29m 00s

Just above El Chalten, South America’s unofficial trekking capital rises the jagged silhouette of Mt. Fitz Roy – revered and iconic in the world of mountaineering and photographed thousands of times. Art sets off in search of a different and unique view of the peak.
