Film: The Hardest Line

In early 2014, Calum Muskett and Dave McLeod set out for Patagonia to repeat David Lama’s free Compressor Route on Cerro Torre. With pitches up to 5.13 and bold, committing climbing high on the mountain, it is probably one of the hardest alpine climbs in the world.

Patagonia is famous for its foul weather and month-long storms. Would two of Britain’s best climbers even get to see the mountain, let alone try one of the hardest, most famous and controversial climbs in the world?
