its mountains are our temple where the
nature puts us to the test every
second when we go into their
domains for a mountaineer get a
summit is the most rewarding in the
heights
the view is lost on the horizon has
been metaphor for humanity
perfect conquest
there we were in mendoza
argentina in monte aconcagua with its
almost seven thousand meters high is the
highest point of the American continent
and the highest outside the Himalayas and
The Everest
after seven days of hard promotion to
only 20 meters from the summit
I was there I lay in that
earring clung to rock without strength
I saw as the saliva of my mouth in jaca and
on the ground I was afraid to hear a lot
in me every time
my anguish friends will decide what to do
with me what would be the most
sure in which I should return
telling me that I wanted to go back I looked
from that place
the final section that rose towards the
summit a summit so far away that
I thought I was going to arrive in circumstances
difficult
we take the first thing that we hand
we have at our disposal for me in that
moment came a very strong memory
that memory is from a boxing movie
rock and I remembered when that boxer
I was in that ring in your corner with
scared fear for more than his coach
I told him to do it simply
he was immersed in his null two
thoughts the conditions height
they make the body behave in a
way very different from usual
just taking a step in the climb is
a task of unimaginable proportions
Medellin stands at about 1,500 meters
above sea level
Bogota is about 2,600 meters above
sea level and the aconcagua with almost
7,000 meters is only 3 thousand
under a commercial flight to that
height the lung capacity is reduced to
37 percent
we experience temperatures up to
minus 25 degrees centigrade
our body is prone to pain
headaches to insomnia at
cerebral edema to loss of appetite
to disorientation and lack of
balance pulmonary edema conditions
urinary digestive disorder hypothermia
slight and in the end what we defeat the
extreme fatigue
there are four moments that we have
identified are put on the table
when we want to go further with a
purpose we have a dream
the first one is precisely that
dreaming to be in the Aconcagua was a dream
team that build together with nito and reindeer
my colleagues a few years ago
we have been taking care of the
beautiful mountains must snowfall
our country and we decided to give the
next step internationally and
why not dreams can have the
size and scope that one wants
ours inhabit the heights
[Music]
and
[Music]
we know that we want to dream to reach that
high point is the one we once want
get to beautiful images but for
we often impose on us
as well
[Music]

[Music]
by then we did not have
mountain experience of that magnitude
we just knew we wanted
do it but as with all great dream
an even greater amount comes to your mind
of fears have constantly feel
the need to carry out projects
that we consider important but not
we face we focus on all the
possible causes of failure to use them
as an excuse to evade ours
survival instinct is always going to
want to dodge all those situations
of risk and undoubtedly lean
pleasure and who would not want to be
again in his tent taking a soup
hot resting
even more so when after seven days of
promotion and the summit day implies
get up 3 at three in the morning by
more than nine hours of promotion without counting
the return time that something like
unattainable to what I would soon
reach fears as to the future
failure to weather conditions or to
the changes are products of our
mind
therefore we can have control of
they have ever incited
to feel scared
when was the last time you felt it
and not bad but you did from
from there you stay is stuck in that
point of view the turn
many times we search and we are
vulnerable to this type of signals
when we are afraid
this image is real
we abandoned an ascent of 25 people
because the strange weather and undoubtedly
we look for an excuse to abort and
abandon that journey
face immersing yourself in fear without
be prepared not to bring to a point of
no return to the loss of one’s faith
to the abandonment of an objective because of the
fear but if we manage to control it and
we master our mind we can
coexist with the environment and use all
our abilities to react yet
in the most critical moments and
unnoticed abandon the summit of
Aconcagua was the easiest option that
we had as mountaineers we are
vulnerable to weather conditions
we face our fears by keeping
total concentration entering a
state of meditation during the ascent
Do not abstract the environment
steps are taken but there are no
difficulties are latent but let’s go
beyond we solve during each
step we take
If it’s an obstacle, you have to
learn to identify him go beyond him
giving the best of us
going beyond the scope that we
we can deliver moments like these what
more dangerous
this site is the one that causes the most deaths
in montblanc in france
we use all our resources to
Do not let defeat to avoid falling into
tried
These beautiful images are part of
our level tours
international and even our beautiful
country
plus
we ascend strung to the cord
umbilical to be born is losing the cold
[Music]
but there is always the reward of a
beautiful sunrise
it does not need to be the strongest the most
high the most skillful to achieve these
challenges with yours in everyday life
it depends more on tucker of your
determination and perseverance
we train constantly to get
in the worst difficulties that we
lead to want to give up is where
we acquired our strength to not
let us win is face repeat
repeat again and again
we must maintain a communication
positive internal permanently
that allows us to improve from the hand of
positive actions like for example
split a big problem
every census we do is a great
challenge that we face by stretches
we fulfill small tasks that little to
little conformable in a whole
each section that we resolve will not lead to
next we should not think him hard
the climb or the path of a
maintain a positive attitude towards
the difficult moments like for example
think about the joy that would give us
reach that personal summit that
you dream and have ahead
each in its own limit to beat
we are our own tool
transformation and to transform us the
movement is vital
we must load with the tools but
not only possess them if you do not know them
use although the things that we carry
here it seems started are not so much
like the negative thoughts that
we carry in our head
we must identify which of those fears
they become ballast because they make it more difficult
our trip
you have to learn to abandon them but yes
We definitely can not let them go
we must learn to walk with them
inside but strong with determination and
perseverance until you beat them some of
they will accompany us forever
What is your burden my mind wanders going
from that place
seeing the final stretch that was rising
towards the summit but I did not want her
outside my image forever in my
I remember the aconcagua with the few
forces that had interrupted the dialogue
of anita and reindeer
I have not resigned, I have not
surrendered
I wish I could be talking like
is doing at this moment
I will continue if I fall again
I will return but pressures return
ascent
I put myself in front and despite my
physical condition
my spirit and my purpose were still
stronger and then the summit gave us
to arrive aconcagua the highest point of
america and tomorrow the highest point of
Africa’s highest point in Europe
western last meters
now if you buy agrarian uaga own
[Music]
[Applause]
because we fulfill this dream because
we are here in front of the south wall of
aconcagua
can not imagine what it is to arrive here is
an amazing thing
we keep dreaming every day with reaching
the highest point of each continent
but we stop thinking what we
we proposed to be there with sacrifice
we have turned our dreams into
goals to overcome allows to feel fear
Feel proud do not punish yourself for
it is not that feeling like something
bad or you stay immersed in a
guilty feeling
If you feel fear, it’s because you dared
to dream and dream is not something very common
these days because dreaming costs and very
few want to pay the price
If you feel fear, it’s because you’re
in front of something very big for you but if
do you see it
more still more the best things in life
they are reserved for those who go
beyond what they believe are their
limitations
remember that at this moment it is a
incomplete version the future but one
improved version of the past
let yourself be surprised by the moments more
beautiful of the first step simply
advance thanks
[Applause]
