    On the Besiberris ridge

    -by Javier Velasco Javaloyas-

    Jorge?..., ..., Jorge!
    Where are you?
    No answer...
    It can't be that he's gone and left me here putting on the harness, I raise my head and he's gone.
    ...He can't have gone down this way, he'll kill himself. We are at the beginning of the ridge, there are only two possible exits and this other one... you can't see him.

    Relax, Pau, he must have gone to... but he already went to the exit of the refuge: it looks like a primitive spaceship descended from the sky and anchored with its legs, down there, presiding over the ridge.

    I don't find this funny, we recently had a discussion; to be honest, it was a bit reckless at that meeting in Sopeira, but from there to....
    Well, you'll have to make up your mind if he doesn't show up, the cold is noticeable.

    -Uncle! Where have you been? I've been yelling at you.
    -I went to see the best exit, you have to belay on a fairly vertical pitch and I wanted to see it.
    -You could have just said so.
