Live the life you want to live

-by Alex Gracia Benito

The sun began to go down, dyeing the peaks orange. The sea of clouds beneath our feet reflected the last rays of sunlight before it bade us goodnight, as it hid behind the Midi. We were going to spend a night on the summit of the Infernos.

The next day, when we descended to the Ibones Azules, we stood side by side, looking at the Hells, trying to react. We didn't talk, we didn't laugh, nothing. We just looked at the summit where we had spent the night. But there was one thing missing up there. And that was the company of the rest of our mountaineering family, who couldn't come. Because with company, everything gets better. And with the people you love, even more so.

And that is the life we have chosen to live. To share what you love the most, with those you love the most.
