Guillermo Vieiro was 44 when he died in 1985 while descending Argentina's Tupungato lava dome, one of the highest peaks in the Americas.
In February this year, the three set out with four other guides and two filmmakers on an 11-day journey to recover the bag from an altitude of about 6,100 meters (20,000 feet) - close to the summit of the 6,600-meter volcanic peak.
“It all seemed crazy to me, and I didn’t want to go back to the volcano where he had died. But as the months went by... I started to loosen up, and began thinking: ‘Why not?’”
“Spiritually, it felt like a greeting, like: ‘I’m still here, I exist. You’re not alone,‘” Azul recounted.
The experience also allowed her to learn more about a man she never got a chance to know.
Photos taken from other film found inside the same backpack by Cavallaro a year earlier, showed that Vieiro and his partner Leonardo Rabal, 20, had been the first climbers to reach the top of Tupungato from its eastern side -- the most challenging route.
“What they (Vieiro and Rabal) accomplished has real historical value in Argentine and international mountaineering,“ she added.
Azul and her sister said they would donate their father’s belongings in an attempt to share a “piece of Argentine mountaineering history” with others.
