Fitz Roy - Southeast face
3. Nott - Reichert Attempt
In December 1999 Americans Joe Reichert and Sue Nott attempted the steep pillar just right of the obvious dike. This is one of the steepest and more striking lines on Fitz Roy. After fixing five 60 meter ropes (6a/A2), Reichert and Nott spent 15 nights on the wall –on portaledges- completing another four pitches (A3/A4) before bad weather forced to retreat. They drilled six belay bolts and one rivet.
