Umkhweli waseCuenca uPedro Cifuentes ukwazile ukuthwesa iMount Fitz Roy, e-Argentine Patagonia, kuhambo oluntsonkothileyo apho wayekhe angazamanga ukunyuka ngenxa yemozulu embi. “Iintsuku ezintlanu zokubandezeleka, zokuzonwabisa, zokucinga ukuba siza kufa. Sasixabisa ixesha elininzi, sasihamba kancinci kwaye izinto zaba mbi kakhulu, kodwa ngengqondo yokusoloko sinceda abantu basezintabeni. Iintaba zinjalo ", uCifuentes, osebenza njengomcimi-mlilo eMadrid, utshele i-Europa Press, evuma ukuba "i-adventure enzima kakhulu" kunye nokunyuka "kunzima kakhulu". “Ibingunyaka oneziganeko ezininzi” “nemozulu engaqhelekanga” kunye neentsuku ezishushu, ezibangele ukudilika komhlaba okuninzi. Ngokuchanekileyo, nangaphambi kokuba azame ukunyuka, uCifuentes wanceda ekuhlanguleni abakhweli bentaba ababini abanamava, iKorra Pesce yaseItali kunye noTomás Aguiló waseArgentina. Kwaye ngelixa uAguiló wonzakele kakhulu, uPesce wabikwa ukuba ulahlekile. Indoda yaseCuenca yayicwangcise ukubuyela eSpain nge-24 kaFebruwari kunye neentsuku ezintlanu ngaphambi koko, ngelixa yayibhiyozela usuku lwayo lokuzalwa kunye nabahlobo, yacinga ukulahla i-mission. Uyavuma esithi: “Ndandingenaxesha lingako. Nangona kunjalo, kusuku olulandelayo watshintsha ingqondo yakhe wahlasela iMount Fitz Roy ngendlela ye-1.600 yeemitha 'Afasanieff'. Uqikelelo beluzakuthatha iintsuku ezimbini ukungeniswa kunye nokuhla, kodwa kusuku lwesibini kwabakho elinye iqela apho abakhweli ababini bafumene ingozi xa besiwa kumphakamo oziimitha ezilishumi. UCifuentes kwafuneka ehle kangangeemitha ezingama-40 aze ancede ahlangule omnye wabenzakeleyo, owaphuka ingqiniba. “Kwabonakala nethambo,” watsho. Wathi akufika encochoyini, emva kosuku olulandelayo kunokuba bekulindelwe, uCifuentes wafumanisa ukuba kwindawo eyaziwa ngokuba yi-'Italian Gap' kukho ukudilika komhlaba okuliqela kwaye kubangele iingozi ezingakumbi, ezibulalayo, njengoko kwenzekayo kubantu baseMelika abanyukayo. Kwakhona, wamisela omnye umsebenzi ukubanceda ukuba behle kwaye ekugqibeleni babuyele kwisiseko seentsuku ze-5 emva kokuhamba.
