Bigwallová specialistka z Katalánska Sílvia Vidal podnikla na přelomu února a března nové dobrodružství, když strávila sama 33 dní při prvovýstupu 1200m cesty Sincronia Magica za A3+ 6a+ na Cerro Chileno Grande v Patagonii.

Silvia byla izolována od okolního světa bez jakékoli formy komunikace, ale po úspěšném výstupu se stihla z Jižní Ameriky vrátit ještě před koronavirovou uzávěrou.

Aysén Region, Río de los Exploradores, EL CHILENO GRANDE: “Sincronia Màgica” . ENGLISH VERSION . In mid March, Silvia Vidal opened a new route on the west face of Cerro Chileno Grande, on a side valley of the Río de los Exploradores, west of Puerto Tranquilo, in the Aysén region, Chile. . Silvia spent over a month alone in the area, with no radio or satellite phone. The approach is complex, and taking the 150kg of supplies to the base was not easy. In all she spent 16 days portering, walking around 150km. On one of those days, Andrea, Marco y Manu, who work in the area, helped her, but the rest she did alone. . She fixed 180m of rope and then spent 33 day on the wall, from 7/02 to 10/03, climbing capsule style and setting three camps in the wall.  The route covers 1180m  with difficulties to A3+ y 6a+. From the end of the difficulties Silvia hiked to one of the peak's summits, albeit not the highest one. The descent took four days. . The wall has a 300m section that is quite vegetated, where some pitches were climbed using crampons and an ice-axe. The remaining 850m climb fairly clean cracks, and faces that are often mossy. Progress is not easy, and involved several traverses and pendulums to connect crack systems. . The weather in the area is quite poor, but Silvia got “lucky” and had rain in only 50% of the days. . Silvia recounts: “Reading this info you may think this place is hell, but it is not. It is a beautiful spot, and the intensity of what I experienced is summarized in the name of the route, magic synchronicity. When things got difficult, there was flow, and I was able to accomplish what I wanted. It was a great experience.” . Pascal Mao and Fabien Burlon were the first to notice the potential of this wall, in 2009, and alerting Etienne Tafary in 2013. Etienne first tried it in 2015, attempting it with Enzo Oddo, Felipe Andrade and Matias Larrain del Sante. In early January, Étienne returned with Antoine Eydoux, Etienne Grosclaude and Pierre-Jean Lallement. They spent seven days on the wall, but they had to give up due to bad weather. They tried a line to the right of Silvia's, who they met as they were walking out.  www.vidalsilvia.com
