Álvaro Osés, won the Desnivel literature award in 2003, for his novel, “El centinela de piedra”. In this new novel, he brings to light the “accursed mountaineers”: unusual characters, absorbed into the world of mountaineering, who act against all the rules of the game.
Some climb the Himalayan summits solo, when the norm would be to form an expedition. Others choose the most hidden corners of the world in search of fulfilment, instead of more fashionable spots. And yet others defy gravity, by deciding to climb without rope, or become a recluse in a far off mountain hut for years.
The main characters in this book are Antonio García Picazo, Jesús Vallés, Francisco Caro Serrano El Mogoteras, Kike de Pablo, Paco Aguado, Jesús Gálvez, Manuel Martínez El Musgaño, Claudio Sánchez Tito, Mariano, the keeper of the Cabaña Verónica, and others. All at some time and place have left their mark and their passion in a mountaineering activity. Getting to know them may create a kind of addiction: the determination to accomplish their dreams, as crazy as they may seem, makes a fascinating read and shines a light on many of the unclear aspects of the history mountaineering.
