Klatring og fjeldvandring

Carlos, en uno de esos momentos de la vida en que parece que todo se desmorona, huye de la ciudad para refugiarse en el pueblo donde pasaba felices veranos durante su infancia. En su búsqueda de sentido se encuentra con Maya, una misteriosa y sabia mujer que se convierte en su inesperada guía y lo introduce en la escalada, actividad que se convierte en un camino hacia su autoconocimiento. A través de las historias y escaladas que compartirán los protagonistas, se explorarán temas como la importancia de tener un propósito y dirigirnos a él, trascendiendo miedos y comprendiendo que a veces la fuerza no es suficiente si no se eliminan las trabas mentales que nos han acompañado durante décadas y limitan nuestro potencial. Más que una simple exploración de la escalada, esta narración invita a considerar que la verdadera paz no surge de la ausencia de desafíos, sino de nuestra habilidad para afrontarlos. Subraya la necesidad de cultivar la serenidad en medio de las tempestades emocionales para así desenvolvernos con sabiduría, ya sea en la roca o en la vida.

"Can we stop for another breather?" I yelled up to Matthew. I was exhausted after wading through deep snow for the last three hours while making seemingly no progress up the steep slope. We were each hauling about 60 pounds of gear to cache higher up on the mountain, and it was tough work. We split the gear up between backpacks and sleds, but had to strike a balance - too much gear on our backs made us sink deeper into the snow, but too much in the sleds pulled us back down the slope. "Yeah, but now it's your turn to break trail," Matthew shouted back. It was Day 8 of our expedition on Mt Logan, and we had just ridden out a three-day storm at King Col at 13,500 ft. We were taking advantage of a brief clearing to try to haul some gear up and over the headwall, the steepest part of the King Trench route. But the storm had dumped a lot of fresh snow, and progress was painfully slow. -Excerpt from Mt Logan Report Long drives, short hikes, long hikes, bushwhacks, mountain bikes, kayaks, month-long expeditions, acclimation, helicopters, commercial flights, bus rides, bush planes, ski planes, float planes, boats, pack rafts, glacier travel near the North Pole, snow storms, snow shoes, skis, sleds, extreme cold, a 20-30 pitch rock climb, and thousands of miles driving. This book documents the journeys of Eric and Matthew Gilbertson to summit all 12 diverse and challenging highpoints of Canada's provinces and territories. While this is a short list of peaks, it is still extremely difficult. Several of the mountains require serious mountaineering and expedition skills. Up to 2023, Eric is the fifth person to climb all 12 peaks, and Matthew is near finishing. Eric and Matthew Gilbertson were born in Berea, Kentucky, USA in 1986 and started hiking with their Dad in the nearby hills and "hollers" of Kentucky as soon as they could walk. Before that, their parents Keith and Mary Kay carried them on their backs on hikes. They have climbed the highest point in 140 countries as of June 2023.Please visit our website for more info: http://www.countryhighpoints.com/
