In 1968 four keen climbers, skiiers and surfers set out to climb Cerro Fitz Roy - the mountain that can be seen on the famous Patagonia logo - and documented their travels using a 16mm Bolex. Re-released in 2018, the film has become an underground classic and has inspired many outdoor enthusiasts to follow in their footsteps.
