Josune Bereziartu - Pro Blog 7

We spoke about his legendary climbing: The Torre Triestre Classical Route, McKinley's Cassin Spur, his deception on the K2 mountain, the Walker Spur in the Grandes Jorasses. Pure alpinist historical moments, oh, yeah. His philosophy of how to afford a climbing, very simple: just take a look to the mountain and go ahead. PURE AND SIMPLE. They were unimaginable moments. Thank you very much, Riccardo.

I left Italy on a foggy and dark day. I like these days. The Basque Country used to be like this, but when I took off in Bilbao, the strong wind that violently balanced the plane was enough to know that the south side wind still was blowing strongly in this tired autumn. Still, the leaves are comfortably placed in the trees ... Mother Nature doesn’t advise them to go away.

Well, a few days ago I received a phone call from Patxi [Usobiaga]. He told me that he just sent a 9a project. "Hey, Josune, go and try it, and let me know what you think about it." I promised him I would try it. This route is located in Etxauri, in a not very well known place. But with the effort of Ekaitz Maiz and some locals, they have developed a modern area in an interesting, old climbing site. It's a nice place for this season, no? Congratulations, Patxi, for your recent world cup winning!
