I’m a gym rat these days. Climbing isn’t life anymore (though I’m still at the gym 4/5 days a week), and I don’t often talk about former adventures, exploits, lives, because my world circumnavigates a larger existence. But when I started climbing, there weren’t many gyms. At 24/25, I moved to the biggest and most famous outdoor gym I could: Yosemite.

In 2008/09, I had the opportunity to work with an illustration agency as a signed illustrator, but that same week I got a call from concessions at YNP to work at the grocery store for minimum wage with free housing. I traded one dream for another. I never regretted it.

Blasting Metallica and Michael Jackson on climbs (Death Magnetic came out that year, and MJ died that summer) I learned how to climb the old-fashioned way: with crusty old hard men, scary whippers, popped pieces, and, yeah, a little aid and a little French free on miles of granite. My ankles still spontaneously give out to this day from rolled ankles on talus during late night descents in the dark. This experience sculpted my life for nearly a decade.

Crippling anxiety was part of the landscape then. That lesson stuck: no matter how scared, perseverance comes from physically pushing through. These days the fear shows up differently, and hardly at all. But the muscle is the same.

1. Waiting our turn on a natural ledge on the prow
2. First time on Royal Arches, subsequent visits later we’d free solo it
3. Route checking on Free Blast (before iPhones, I’d print topos and laminate them with packing tape)
4. First full trad lead - all five pitches of the 5.9 variation of Nutcracker
5. Another one from first time on Royal Arches.
6. Laps before work on Generator crack
7. Belaying on the ledge
8. Brad and Ryan on The Prow
9. Sleepy on the ledge at night
10. Sleepy on the ledge morning
11. B and Ryan on the prow
12. B hauling.
13. Obligatory summit photo
14. After summit in Tuolomne.
15. Entry pitch on the Nose on El Cap, doing summer time free trials up to sickle ledge.

Camino de Santiago 2024
18 de abril. Los Arcos -Viana (18,0 km)
Séptima jornada de Camino.
Salimos del albergue Isaac Santiago y dejamos atrás la pequeña ermita de San Blas, para atravesar pistas de tierra en dirección a Sansol. Nos juntamos en el camino un grupo hermoso de amigos, Felipe, Noa y Noga, Ryan, Nicolo, Gabriele, Enrico, Marcio y servidor, llegando a Sansol y al otro lado del pequeño valle, a Torres del Río. Allí está la hermosa Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro, parecida por lo extraño de su planta octogonal con Santa María de Eunate. Me quedo visitando el templo mientras los chicos avanzan.
Vuelvo a quedarme solo, porque ya sé que yo no llegaré hoy a Logroño (no quiero recordar mi visita de hace dos años), y sin darme cuenta llego a un punto del camino lleno de torrecillas de piedras y cintas de multitud de colores y países atadas a las ramas de un árbol.
El camino se hace más pesado, y necesito música para avanzar. Me da por escuchar temas de cantautores de los 70. Llegando a la Ermita de Santa María del Poyo y en mi móvil suena María Ostiz interpretando "No sabes cómo sufrí". Alli me encuentro con Isabel, palentina amorosa y valiente (de Palencia, con "P"), que armada con su mochila y su bandera de la patria chica me recomienda escuchar "Canta cigarra". Ninguno de los dos sabíamos que íbamos a cruzarnos en nuestro camino muchas veces hasta llegar a Santiago.
La antigua villa de Viana me recibe con una calle llena de vida, en lo alto de una colina. Destacan las iglesias fortificadas de Santa María (la parroquial que ha permanecido al día de hoy) y la de San Pedro (en ruinas). El desaparecido castillo está representado en una maqueta y las antiguas puertas y murallas nos hablan de un pasado guerrero debido a su posición fronteriza con el Reino de Castilla. Se puede visitar la tumba de César Borgia en la entrada de la Iglesia de Santa María.
La tarde transcurre en soledad, en paz, y reflexión, visitando el lugar y preparándome para descansar en el albergue.

Camino de Santiago 2024
17 de abril. Estella - Los Arcos (21,3 km)
Sexta jornada de Camino.
Arranca la mañana temprano y salimos de Estella atravesando la ciudad al alba. El día es espectacular para caminar, el cielo precioso, y llegamos a las bodegas Irache, (al lado del emblemático monasterio) donde cumplimos con la tradición de beber vino que nos dará fuerzas para el camino.
En este lugar conozco a Ryan, peregrino de Colorado con el que mantengo una agradable conversación mientras atravesamos sembrados, viñedos y disfrutamos de las "poppys" (amapolas). Atravesamos Irache, Ázqueta, Villamayor de Monjardín y finalmente Los Arcos, villa medieval en la ribera del río Odrón.
Una vez alcanzamos el albergue, Camila, David, Ryan y yo nos vamos a comer al restaurante Mavi. Uno de los primeros "menús del peregrino".
El concepto ha variado con el paso de los años, ya que lo que antiguamente implicaba ser más económico que un menú normal, a día de hoy es puro marketing. El menú del peregrino es un eufemismo para cobrarte más caro que cualquier menú diario de cualquier capital española (incluido Madrid). Este es uno de los aspectos negativos de la globalización a lo largo y ancho del Camino de Santiago.
La tarde es tranquila y aprovecho para visitar el pueblo y tomar fotos antes de regresar. Hoy de nuevo Nicolo, Gabriele, Enrico y Marcio (el equipo Ninja) se encargan de la cena y entre cervezas transcurre la tarde. Terminamos la jornada entre comiendo pasta, y entre risas e historias, la pequeña familia se dispone a descansar merecidamente en nuestras literas.
