Watch Pirmin Bertle’s First Ascent of New Patagonia V14/15

Watch German climber Pirmin Bertle on The Cold and Smelly Breath of Death V14/15 in Patagonia. 

“We wanted to leave El Chalten to visit Puerto Natales for only some days, but then I found this line,” said Bertle. The hard new problem is in Puerto Natales in Patagonia, Chile.

“Never have seen rock like this before, never have made moves like this. Never in a spot like this. In the end it turned out to be pretty hard, 10 days of work.

“The best way to get back in shape after two months of no or only very few climbing.”
