Apparently one of these Red Bull sponsored climbers strutted off to Patagonia, complete with film crew, to free climb Cerro Torre. The weather was awful and the "expedition" was a dismal failure. The whole bunch went running back to Europe, leaving hundreds of meters of fixed ropes hanging on the wall and something like 60 new bolts on the lower half of the Compressor Route. What the fuck? Edited to add for clarity: This story was posted two weeks later: Hi RC.com folks. We've posted a story about this situation at Alpinist.com: http://www.alpinist.com/...ama-compressor-bolts Erik Lambert Online Editor, Alpinist.com
