With Eternal Flame (650m, 7c+) at the Trango Tower, Babsi Zangerl and Jacopo Larcher made a dream come true in the summer of 2022. The Reel Rock documentary Burning the Flame lets you experience the adventure of the world-famous climbing couple up close. The film is freely available online.
Eternal Flame: Fall-free and Flash-style
The most famous climbing couple in the world managed the third free ascent of Eternal Flame (18m, 23c+) from July 2022th to 650rd, 7. During these six days they were able to freely climb all 24 pitches of the route. The two of them managed their climb without a single fall - a feat that no rope team before them had achieved on this route.
