Hello Txanan (@txanote<\/a><\/strong>)Earlier you told me that it was after a back injury that you started to go out in the mountains on a recurrent basis. Was this the beginning of your love for the mountains?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello, I did like the mountains, but I had other priorities. As I was physically limited, I became more and more fond of it and every year it's getting better and better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And tell us, how is this diary of mountaineering trips that you started just now, two years ago?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is very simple, or so I think. It's an Excel where I have the year divided into months and days. Then each mountain or route is written down in a different colour and with its altitude, so when I do an outing I put the colour corresponding to the day I do the activity. This way I have written down the day I do the activity, the altitude difference, the number of times I have done it and at the end the total for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So every year you reset the counter to zero, how did 2020 go, did you meet your target?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think I have done well, to be honest. Counting the months that have had to stop due to the pandemic and some seasons stopped due to physical issues, for the aforementioned reasons, I have surpassed the year 2019. So I am satisfied with what I have achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year there were almost 60,000m of positive altitude gain, and in this year of the pandemic, almost 70,000m. In any case, surpassing last year's figure is a motivation, a challenge for the year ahead. Have you set yourself a target figure for this year 2021?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It's just that I don't really set a figure for myself. The figure thing was more for the first year. I see it more as keeping a record of what you do in a year and seeing how you progress, if you surpass the previous year and if you are satisfied with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Going back to the diary, there are some mountains that you repeat all year round, any day of the week. For example, you have climbed Montejurra 43 times this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the end, repeating the same mountain so many times is a matter of proximity. When you have a bit of time you put on your trainers and go up. This year I have climbed Montejurra* 43 times and San Mill\u00e1n* 62 times. I don't think these figures are very impressive as people in the area climb a lot more than me, but even so, I'm satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n * Montejurra and San Mill\u00e1n are two mountains near Estella-Lizarra (Navarra). Montejurra has an altitude of 1,045m and a difference in altitude of just over 600m, while San Millan has an altitude of 672m and an accumulated difference in altitude of almost 300m.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you also keep a list of the mountains you have already climbed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The list is the same for what I do all the time, as well as for the ones I do once. The good thing about making this list is that you write down all the mountains you do, so that tomorrow, I can refer to it to know if I have done this or that mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Evil tongues say that the \"push\" to start writing down outings came at a party on New Year's Eve. What was it like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hehe, how many resolutions and adventures will have been made after a lunch, dinner or party. What can I say if almost everyone has been involved in something similar. It was very easy, to be honest, they asked me if I could climb Montejurra once a week from home and do 30,000m. So I said yes and that I would write it down so that I wouldn't have any accounting problems. And of course, a friend has to give the go-ahead at the end of the year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keeping a diary of our mountaineering activities is a nice way to keep the memories...","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24423,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-24411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","post_format-post-format-image"],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/portada-1.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Caratula-Podcast-Maldita-Montana_1500x1500_72pp-p_.jpg","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":[],"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/feed\/podcast\/maldita-montana","embedCode":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Trinidad.jpg\")
