The Spark! There's a spark inside all of us that makes us want to explore. To go to places others don't go. To fill in the gaps on a map. It was definitely there with the early explorers, the climbers conquering unclimbed peaks, and the pioneers crossing vast lands. That spark, even though it may […]
Today we did the Ruta Gollizno at Moclin. A beautiful descent into a dramatic gorge, followed by a tough ascent in the afternoon heat back up to the town. The cold beers were most welcome!
