At one time thought to be lost to the memories of those who achieved it, this book is a visual document of the first ascent in 1968 of the California Route on Cerro Fitz Roy. Alongside photos of the climb, retrospective essays give context to a sport and lifestyle in its infancy, and further discusses the influence this had on shaping the lives of the climbers and those that they influenced.
