Approach was made in 2 trips - 1 for a gear drop on the Glaicer then one to the Norwegian bivvy (advance Base camp) it can be done in a very long day, but means approx 8miles +, morraine / glacier travel.
The route + descent took in total from El chalten 7 days - we were blessed with excellent weather (actual climbing 3 sleeps on the face) A quick party can climb it in a day, although one bivvy would be needed at some point..
@ssparty666 Comparing Everest to Fitz Roy or Cerro Torre is a joke, this is pure technical climbing along these sheer granite faces. Just a few among the best climbers in the world can challenge these patagonian granite vertical towers. Even they will need real luck to get close due its inclement and treacherous wheater.
Looks like they nailed the weather, That is truely a burley climb.

How long was the approach? How far did you set your base camp and how long did the ascent take?
Awesome job by the way. I love Patagonia. The clip brings back memories.

What a Dream. 100 people a year climb mount everest. Mount Fitz Roy maybe 2-5 accents a year.
