"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Quickly over the ridgeMe, Joker and César started at 7:00 am at Cavalliers dam. At 11:00 am we were on the Besiberri Nord summit (climbed by the east chimmney that ends directly at the very top. At 15:30 we were descending out of the ridge towards Paso del Oso, the saddle on the way back to Cavalliers dam. We were not using rope, except for two short abseils between Besiberri Nord and Besiberri Mitg. Nevertheless, some sections are very exposed and the use of rope is advisable for those less secure climbers.
Very nice ridge traverse for starters on ridges' traverses in the Pyrenees
