The peak of my life

-by Jesús Caro Montero

A mountaineer by vocation, modest, constant, I devour kilometre after kilometre loaded with my rucksack, keeping my head down on the steep sections, breathing a big breath of fresh air and always looking upwards I see the summit, the summit of my life.

Challenge after challenge, I am vertical and my legs, now tanned, are the real tuggers of my body.

I discovered the mountains when I was young and they have been with me ever since. Alone many times, accompanied by my brother and our dogs at other times. Alone, because I feel comfortable alone in the mountains.

I dream of great deeds, great open spaces where I can immerse myself in body and soul. Exuberant in my senses and in my interior with the immensity that its sculpted walls offer us.

They cause me respect, admiration, pain, glory, and pride, but always a constant in my life.
life. Something calls me to be there and soon I hope to be one of them again.
