Torre Egger is one of the peaks in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in South America, located between Argentina and Chile,[2] west of Cerro Chalten (or Fitz Roy).
It is named after the Austrian alpinist Toni Egger (1926–1959), who died while climbing on Cerro Torre.
In 1976, John Bragg, Jim Donini and Jay Wilson from the United States climbed Torre Egger by climbing first to the col between the peak and Cerro Torre, the Col of Conquest, and then up the ridge to the peak.
The ascent was hampered by bad weather and took from December 1975 to February 22, 1976, when the 3-person team summited.
They rate their route at YDS VI 5.11 A1 WI6 Mushroom Ice 6, with 2,200 m (7,200 ft) total vertical gain.
