- El Flechazo (Cupid's Arrow)
First ascent on Cerro Standhart, Argentina, Patagonia Febuary 2020 with Nicolas Favresse. We spent three days on the wall, and celebrated my birthday with some cake, singing, and ice cream on the summit.
On the approach walking up Cerro Torre valley we didn’t have any objective, no expectations, we were just going up there to enjoy the moment, the top far from our thoughts, without importance, accepting the possibility of not reaching any summit, we were going up there to live an experience, to learn and have a good time.
Most walls were either covered in rime or soaking wet. Nico spotted a nice, clean, dry line on Cerro Standhardt. “We might as well try that!” So we did.
We named the route “El Flechazo”, Cupid’s arrow in Spanish, as an anti-missile, make love not war kind of thing, to counter the missile names of the other routes on that face (Exocet, Tomahawk). Love stops missiles. However some seemed to think that we were suggesting that Cupid’s arrow has caused more pain and human damage than any missile in history. Whatever way you choose to look at it “El Flechazo” is more powerful!
Music:
Outro song is a cover from SUMO called "El Reggae de Paz Y Amor" recorded at a party at the Hem Herhu hostel in El Chalten, with amazing voice from José Del Castillo and additional instruments from the monkeys, Jim Reynolds, Michael Brines, Jon Griffin, Tad McCrea and others.
Intro music is from a jamming session at Alexis' birthday Asado in El Chalten with all the local titanes and monos.
you guys are by far the most inspirational and modest duo out there!
keep up the good vids!!
"I put on some sunscreen"
Yes I can tell
I just love your climbing style!! And the meaning of El Flechazo is so perfect!
J't' envie pour ton cadeau d'anniversaire ! Ce que tu as montré dans le film n’était pas vraiment un grand défi. Mais ça a l'air d'être mieux de beau ! (comme des belles longueurs à Adrspach.)

Amaizing climb :)
Your climbing trips always look like fun, maybe type 3 or higher, but still fun :)
haha, locos! Bonne annif!
Gan Eagla! Toujours cool de voir vos vidéos ! À quand un vertical sailing en Greece ?
So bad ass! If you ever come to Utah let’s film!
Magique
me going bzzzzsh the whole time I was watching this
Dikke proficiat met verjaardag en ascent!
You guys are amazing! Your videos are the way climbing videos should be; fun and not taking oneself to seriously.
Your Dodo's Delight videos led me to buying a Westerly Discus on the west coast of Canada. I had never heard of Westerly Yachts (They are very uncommon on the west coast of Canada), but when I saw the pictures in the ad, I recognized the make having seen your videos of the Dodo, and was certainly inspired to go view it knowing where Bob took you guys up north with it! A tough boat indeed!
Gives a couple of his slings away..
Also: Need some protection.. maybe some slings.. do you have any?
Go hiontach Seán. Tá anam an óige fós agat!
Ne gelukkige he ouwe ;)
fuck yes, this is cool!
cette accent belge qui me fait qq chose
hey sean, since the patagonia livestream and your live concert in chamonix i am really waiting for a new song^^ ;)
Sean, t'as vraiment 39ans? je crois que ça me choque plus que l'exploit du sommet haha
Merci pour cette vidéo qui fait plaisir et redonne la motivation pour arpenter les montagnes
Haha! Motivation!
No anchor at the summit? I assume this means you had to down climb on ice, spicy?
Correct. A little spicy...Or should I say icy? ;-)
We downclimbed about 6m to where we found solid ice to make an abalakov anchor.
@@seanvillanueva8047 Congratulations on the incredible climb! You climbing has always inspired me.
Zalige video Sean! Zijn jullie van plan om meer mixed beklimmingen te doen? Komt er binnenkort nog eens een lange docu over je avonturen?
Af en toe een paar mixed beklimmingen is wel leuk! Maar de rots roept ons het hardst! ;-)
Et la descente ça se passe comment ?
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
attack
how come there was only one piece of pro the crack, it as too wide for the gear you had? I couldn't see on my screen. Great video,
merci de partager ton aventure!
It was too wide. we only had one piece that was big enough to fit.
@@seanvillanueva8047 Ah I see, smart move and better to crush another day, you rock!
@@seanvillanueva8047 I would love to see how you prep for one of these climbs... but don't want to kill the mystery at the same time.
Scannán inspioráideach. Comhghairdeas !!
Go raibh míle maith agat!
Re5pect
We need more videos from You! Visit us in Poland, I could hold camera ;)
Careful, I might take you up on that !
@@seanvillanueva8047 hah! I'm sure we could handle it.
