Making History on the Trango Towers, Pakistan - Edu Marin
High above the Baltoro Glacier in Pakistan’s Karakoram, the Trango Towers rise like stone skyscrapers—remote, steep, and brutally beautiful. In this film, Edu Marín, supported by his brother Alex and father Novato, sets his sights on a landmark objective: the second free ascent of Eternal Flame on the Nameless Tower. This is big-wall climbing at its most committing—thin air, huge exposure, and the kind of sustained focus that turns every pitch into a test of nerve and endurance. With the history of the route looming in the background and the scale of the wall never letting up, it’s a gripping watch for anyone who loves ambitious lines, family teamwork, and the sharp edge where adventure meets performance.

The Karakorum is the wildest mountain range in the world. One of the spectacular mountains around this Baltoro glacier is the Trango "Nameless Tower". It’s the biggest free-standing rock tower, and it’s simply just a mountain to be climbed! Edu Marín, helped with his brother Alex and father Novato, attempts the second free ascent of Eternal Flame. This achievement occurs 33 years after the first ascent of the route by Wofgang Güllich & Kurt Albert, and 13 years after Alex & Thomas Huber’s first free ascent. *** Directed by *** Guillaume Broust @GuillaumeBroust https://www.instagram.com/guillaume_broust/ https://www.guillaume-broust.com/ *** Featuring *** Edu Marìn @edumarin https://www.instagram.com/edumarin1/ Novato Marìn Alex Marìn Garcia Alexander Huber Thomas Huber Alessandro Baù Wolfgang Güllich Kurt Albert *** Cameras *** Alex Marìn Guillaume Broust Christophe Tong-Viet *** Additional footage *** Liquen Studio TimeLine Studio Ettore Zorzini Antoine Girard Alexandre Jofresa *** Copyright *** Copyright Petzl Distribution 2025 All rights reserved #climbing #pakistan #highaltitude #rockclimbing #multipitch #bigwall
