To my mind, Cerro Torre is the greatest mountain in the world. When I visited in November 2011 my astonishing luck held and I got to see the whole mountain, summit and all, on the very first day. This photograph, I suspect, is a more usual view. I've heard of people staying three weeks and only seeing the mountain on the last day.

And you would know. Wow.
Zhoen, it really is a spectacular mountain, even with its summit completely hidden. Reinhold Messner's description of Cerro Torre is usually translated as 'a shriek turned to stone', and that's as perfect a description as any I can think of.
