The Torre Egger is a 2880  m , according to other sources 2850  m or 2685  m high granite mountain , which is located in Campo de Hielo Sur on the Argentine - Chilean border, about 50 km north of the famous Torres del Paine National Park . The mountain was named in memory of Toni Egger , who was killed by an avalanche while attempting the first ascent of Cerro Torre in 1959.

In contrast to the neighboring Cerro Torre , which has already climbed more than 300 times, the Torre Egger has only been climbed very little so far. It is considered one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult mountain in Patagonia.
