00:00In his time, Guillermo was 44 years old and he did many, many
00:29first ascensions, he was a mountaineering magnate, you talk about the famous footballers,
00:38Maradona at that time, well, at that time in mountaineering, it was Guillermo Vieiro,
00:43really, because he marked a lot, he marked a lot in Andeanism.
00:52My mother did not tell us who he really was, we knew that he had killed himself in the mountain
01:05and that he was a mountaineer, but not much more than that, then it was a rediscovering
01:09his story, as if to say, we have a father who had a life, a story, so it was like
01:17rediscovering it again.
01:36The people who perhaps do not believe in energy or things like signals, it's okay, rationally
01:41one can say a person who stepped so hard in Andeanism has to leave some kind of mark
01:46in the mountain or in what he has done in his life, so it is inevitable that those
01:51traces appear, rationally I understand it like that, but spiritually if you want, it was like a greeting,
01:59like a ... I'm still here, I'm not alone.
02:03I would like to donate a picket to a museum in the Andean Kingdom.
02:09It has a really historical value in Argentine mountaineering and international too, the feat
02:18that they did and at the same time it is a family that tragically lost their father and well,
02:29it is also the way to give them back a little of their history.
