Book on Mountaineering reflections.

Mountaineering brings together and symbolizes the most impressive and demanding situations that can happen in life. Hence it cannot be described as a simple "sport". It seems to be true that difficult, and even extreme, activities are the ones that most teach men to know how and who we are, as many secrets are discovered that for most humans remain hidden. On the contrary, there is the near possibility of losing everything, living the uneasiness at the possibility of death itself. Are alpinists adrift, victims of a powerful current that carries them away? Or could mountaineering be the great discovery of a universal reality that men have been looking for in recent centuries? Is that powerful passion an "unreason" that gives meaning to existence.

César Pérez de Tudela is part of that select club of mountaineering greats, with a long life and sporting career full of successes, but also failures ... Life lessons, all of which the author reflects on and introduces the reader to transcendental philosophy through greats of universal thought such as Ortega, Bergson and, above all, Nietzsche. Likewise, it brings together the narratives of some tragic events in world mountaineering - also of some historical events from the past - to try to answer the eternal question of why men are exposed to extreme situations.
