Jorge, a Chilean mountain climber of 83 years of age, keeps wielding his profession and passion. Besides his job on measuring Chilean snow levels, he’s been spending his life teaching university students the techniques of mountain climbing, moreover, he transfers his wisdom and all his experience, which is impregnated by his easygoing manners. Even though his body is not the same as at the age of 20, or 40, not even 60, this doesn’t represent a problem for Jorge. He keeps climbing at a steady and unstoppable pace, sometimes even carrying a backpack larger than him. There’s no obstacle, rock or difficulty hard enough that would prevent him from going on; these roads are his life now and ever, until his legs give up and he becomes one with the mountain.
