So Martin decides to follow Roger on an expedition to Cerro Torre. They are accompanied by Ivan, Katharina, Roger’s friend and secretary, and Hans Adler, one of Innerkofler’s companions in his two previous climbing attempts. While bad weather keeps the group stuck at the base camp, they discover that, encamped in a nearby cave lives a fanatical climber who lost four fingers in his effort to reach the top of Cerro Torre.
