«El centinela de piedra» is the mountain and adventure novel by Álvaro Osés Arbizu, published by Ediciones Desnivel in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
A mini-expedition of friends, three Navarrese and a Frenchman seasoned in the Pyrenees and the Alps, and a young Chilean woman making her debut in high mountain climbing meet on Aconcagua. A very personal diary crosses their lives, while the legend of the Futre, a being in tails and top hat who dwells among the mountain's mists, shrouds the ascent in mystery.
First novel by Álvaro Osés, winner of the 2003 Desnivel Prize for Mountain, Travel and Adventure Literature. Aconcagua, the roof of the Americas, reaches 6,972 metres in altitude.
Recommended for fans of mountain narrative, alpinism and Andean legends.
