Since 1998, Latorre has participated in the Spanish television program Al filo de lo impossible[1] which documented his climbs in places such as Kyrgyzstan, Greenland, South George, Antarctica and the Himalayas. In 2017, he became the sixth Spanish mountaineer (and first Catalan)[3] to ascend the 14 Eight-thousanders after climbing Mount Everest.[4]
