Beans, a Falling Star, and VIMFF

Beans
I stopped in a supermarket, with the intention of buying a bunch of food for the next two weeks; this was at the beginning of the month, so this text is about what I did in the beginning of March and the last week of February. After that, I was driving to the west of Spain to Catalonia.

Bip, bip, bip the cellular chimes. A phone call: "Hey Josune! You should come to Rodellar. It’s unusually dry and perfect conditions for every route you wanna try."

Wow! The magnetic news made me change my plans immediately. Soon, I turned left to the curved road to Rodellar. In the first curve I heard behind me a loud sound. I stopped my van, finding all my food on the floor. One of the brand new bean bottles had splashed onto the floor.  The view of the beans all over the van inspired me to exclaim some laud and energetic words:

“Puta Mierda... Mierda Jodida... Putas Alubias!” (Sorry for my limited English!) Better if you don’t know’em translated, really.

The nasty episode guided me to some happy climbing days, though. Yes, I went directly to Geminis (8c), in the most overhanging center side of the Gran Boveda wall in the famous Rodellar. On my third day of effort, I climbed this athletic and overhanging piece of rock. This route has become a first 8c route for many climbers. It’s an incredibly nice route and after the middle part's bouldery section, the upper headwall is — according to my friend Carlos, “Citro” for friends — the best quality and most beautiful piece of rock in the area. I agree with him.
