It’s the climb to the IRAM at 2850 m.a.s.l., the Sierra Nevada radio telescope, with an antenna of 30 meters in diameter. It has been essential in reaching one of the most important scientific discoveries of our time: the image of the black hole.
A big challenge only comparable with the mythical Veleta peak.
