The Mountains of Yesterday

The Mountains of Yesterday

During the 1930’s and 40’s nearly all the peaks of Riglos, in Spain, had been conquered; there only remained one singular pinnacle known for its capricious form as “the Cigar”, which still hadn’t been climbed.

Ascending this spire of rock represented an exceptional challenge, and the most outstanding climbers in the nation were eyeing it carefully.

The story of the conquest of this Mallo would be the most tragic of all the summits of this massif.
