10 Years In Patagonia

Duct Tape Then Beer bring us this incredible amalgamation of clips from Mikey Schaefer s ten years of climbing in Patagonia. Woven together from numerous trips and tens of contributors, this video tells the story of Mikey s mission to establish seven first ascents on the seven major peaks of the Fitzroy range and the relationship he developed with the region during that mission. Along the way, Mikey s attitude to the mountains changed from treating them as enemies to be conquered to the more nuanced relationship he now shares with them. He also became a photographer, made more friends than he can count and had some of the most defining experiences of his life. This is his story, brought to you from Patagonia by Patagonia.

A Line Across The Sky

Long considered impossible, coveted by many and attempted by a few, the Fitz Traverse has fueled the imaginations of climbers in Patagonia for decades. Tracing the iconic skyline of Cerro Fitz Roy and its six satellite peaks, it spans four miles and 13,000 feet across snow and ice-covered rock, with epic route finding and endless rapelling. Seizing their chance during a rare extended weather window, Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold went big. The pair completed the first ascent in a five-day push during February 2014. Watch the trailer of the upcoming film from Big Up and Sender Films.

A Perfect Circle

The Moab desert is full of beautiful, free standing sandstone towers. What could be more practical and aesthetic than free climbing the towers and base jumping off them? With my husband and partner Mario Richard, and our good friends Keith Ladzinski and Jorge Visser, we teamed up to shoot the whole adventure on these beautiful towers and make a movie of some of our favorite base climbs.
