great page of one of the most beautifull mountains. A lot of thanks for posting finally in SP (I wish it for a long time after the read of a book of L.Terray)
As commented in the photo, maybe you could add in the "literature" chapter the book "Les conquereurs de l'inutil" where it's author Lionel Terray describes the first ascent to this beautiful peak.
Cheers

There have been several free ascents of different routes on Fitzroy - Dean Potter even free soloed two routes (Supercouloir and California Roulette: March 2002 http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/older.html?month=03&year=2002). Also, Alan Mullin and Kevin Thaw freed the Czech route on the West Face. (http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/older.html?month=03&year=2007)

Untitled CommentThanks for your kind words! I too had been hoping somebody would put up a Fitzroy page for ages, and finally got tired of waiting and did it myself.
Happy, climbing,

The exact link to...Fitz Roy routes is:

BTW, you missed the name Chaltén as Fitz Roy.

Re: The exact link to...Thank you Diego - I have changed the link and added the name Chaltén to the page. Any other suggestions are welcome!
