Overview

• Uribe set off at 5:00 a.m. on July 14 with a goal of completing the Everest-equivalent climb in under 14 hours, aiming to finish before 7:00 p.m.
• The challenge entails ascending Alto de Mandubia from Beasain 25 times, covering roughly 300 kilometers and gaining 9,000 meters of elevation.
• He has framed the effort as an intimate test of endurance rather than a formal ceremony and has dubbed it “Everesting Mandubia.”
• Uribe credits endurance sport with helping him rebuild his identity and describes it as “salvador” in overcoming the long shadow of Basque terrorism.
• ETA declared a definitive ceasefire in 2011 and disbanded in 2018, yet families of its victims continue to seek healing through personal and communal acts of remembrance.
