A group of climbers repeats the extremely difficult ascent of a peak. During the 1930's and 40's nearly all the peaks of Riglos in Spain had been conquered by various expeditions. Only one small pinnacle, known for its capricious form similar to a cigar, remained unclaimbed. These sheer towering peaks, not far from each other have always attracted a great number of climbers. Ascending this rock spire, the last inviolate peak. represented an exectional challange and the roped party attracted the curiosity of the nation's most outstanding climbers. The story of the conquest of this little peak turned out to be the most tragic of all the summits in this massif.
