Re: And...thanks, I think it's a special picture of a special day, so long ago...and many mountains after this, we remain so mad, (but nowadays we carry the crampons in days like this)...God blessed Moreno, our leader.

The cross..... is no longer there (Sept 2011). I can't believe the wind blew it away... And what does the "being mad" and the "tin of beans" mean, guys?

Re: The cross..I knew the news about the cross because it was fallen in 2007 when I climbed Petrechema for last time ir order to climb the Petit Pic d'Ansabere (I have the "disease" of climbing all the peaks of 2.000m of this area because they're our Pyrenees near of home)
the can of beans...he,he, it's difficult to explain but I try. The guy of the picture was the leader of our old muountain group: "La alubiada". The flag was a dish of beans under the Cervino.
An image is more clear than 1.000 words:
La Alubiada en Bazias.
The group dissapeared but we have a lot of good memories of these days and our friend F.Moreno.
I have the flag and I carry it in special days of the year, specially in the anniversary day that we'll eat beans in some place of Basque Country in january or february of 2012, in "alubiadas's day"... the countdown begins!!!!!

Re: The cross..Thank you. I like the story! (By the way, I wonder if English "baked beans" have ever been asociated with a mountain - have you tried them? - one of our national "delicacies" jeje).
I have another quick question. Was there ever a cross on Perdido? A current English guide mentions one and I know there isn't now. But the original edition of the guide book dates to 1978,so maybe before then....?

Re: The cross..I climbed Perdido only one time across the ridge of Escaleras and I didn't saw the cross.
I never visited England to try the baked beans,.. I only knew the airport of London in some of my travels.
