The plan today was clearly defined:
7:15 am - The alarm clock.
7:20 am - We got dressed.
7:30 am - Breakfast.
7:50 am - Meter backpacks in the car and shoot out to Vilassar.
8:15 am - Arrive Vilassar, Pep and Moniquet pick.

10:00 am - 42Km further up Ogassa. Kicked to the walls.
10:30 a.m. to 2:00 pm - Climbing Ogassa.
3:30 pm - Around the Maresme.
As I said, a well developed plan. A clear plan, clear and concise. All controlled. Until the smallest detail. Save time. The damn time, it seems that in these lands is determined to screw us on weekends.
So the reality was somewhat different:
7:15 am - The alarm clock.
7:16 a.m. - look out the window, is very cloudy, not clear to me.
7:17 a.m. - I get up and start brewing.
7:20 am - Bea rose.
7:21 a.m. - Bea looks out the window, is very clear, is not clear.
7:24 a.m. - sending an SMS to PESP: "We palante?."
7:25 a.m. - We dress. No response from Pep.
7:30 am - breakfast. No response from Pep.
7:40 a.m. - brushing teeth. No response from Pep.
7:48 a.m. - With backpacks PESP SMS arrives: "Go to sleep! Weather radar indicates rain in area."
7:48 a.m.-7: 54am - Fuck the weather, perjury in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. I get red and I was swells the vein in his temple. Murmurs are heard in the homes of neighbors. I have them terrified.
7:55 a.m. - I relax. It requires a plan B. decided to play the wild card: Banyadores, School for the easygoing Maresme.
7:55 a.m. - Sending SMS to PESP: "No shit!" We're dressed and breakfasted! For a minute, do not get caught in the car. Surely we approach Banyadores in a couple of hours. Will send you? ".
7:57 a.m. - Notice to Alonso, I guess awake, haggard and with the samophlange around his neck. But just in case, do not call and send SMS:" Change of plan. Banyadores in a couple of hours? Send SMS when you rise up. "
8:00 am - PESP SMS arrives:" We'll always Banyadores, but not before 11am. This guy is a sloth.
8:01 a.m. - I go to bed. Bea is already asleep. I plan to sleep for an hour more and then head to Banyadores.
8:02 a.m. - I go into a deep coma.
.
.
10:30 am - I wake up. Miro time. It is much later than I expected. I wanted to be in Banyadores at 10:30 am, at the latest. Fuck my laziness, forsworn in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. I get red and I was swells the vein in his temple. Murmurs are heard in the homes of neighbors. I have them terrified.
10:30 '30 "am - I'm dressed, shoes, the backpack and the car key in hand.
10:35 am - Bea rose.
10:36 a.m.-10: 47am - No I know what happens, but of course leave home, do not go out. Bea detect my nervousness, I'm half sandwich of Nutella and that seems to calm down a bit.
10:48 a.m. - Sending SMS to Alonso and Pep: "Bea and I left Banyadores pa classic sector. Hopefully the weather hold. "
10:54 a.m. - Call Alonso. Be noted. Let's go for it.
11:20 am - We pick up Alonso.
11:30 am - We arrived at Vilassar. Begins to rain. The plan B is staggering. I refuse to admit it. suggest "get to the sand track, park and see what happens. If it rains a lot, we become. "Alonso and Bea did not seem very convinced, but not disgust me, entering the plan. Also, I drive and judged more prudent to follow the current.
11:40 am - We arrived at the track sand. It rains very little, but raining, raining. Pep Llama, who says he is dressed and ready to pack but of course with the rain it is best to stay at home. I'm calling, and nothing nice. Reinforcement using reverse psychology, they call it. Pep respond wisely going to come, prefer to stay lying on the couch.
11:41 a.m. - Bea Alonso suggest a walk through the fields, without carrying the rope. Overall, it's raining. Once again I refuse to admit the evidence. "If we go, we came up with rope and tackle, that it stops raining and you can climb." Alonso and Bea did not seem very convinced, but not disgust me, again entering the plan. Moreover, as I that judged roped load more prudent to follow the current.
11:42 a.m. - began to go up the track. Miraculously, the rain begins to stop.
11:48 a.m. - It has stopped raining. Pep call to see if you dare. This time he spoke softly, his voice firm but calm, trying not to flinch. To everyone's surprise, Pep is encouraged. And this time I did not need the insults of reinforcement, this man no one understood.
11:55 a.m. - Alonso and I arrived at trackside. There is only one rope, but just the way I wanted.
12:06 am - Bea calling, asking where we are. Was left behind on the rise and instead of turning right onto the Classic sector, has pulled to the left to the Amazon area. Turns around and comes to the Classic field.
12:10 p.m. - Bea arrived and began to climb ... Finally!
12:20 m - Pep and makes rope comes with Alonso
12:20 p.m.-2: 40pm A great couple of hours climbing in which time has respected.
Bea has done two ways: Twisting (V) of about 25 meters with some baby steps "interesting" to more than 20m high and Normal (IV). I these two and then the final Aresta (V +). Alonso and Pep have begun with Dr. Doom (V +), Concave (V) and then the winding (V). We left for the final Pereira Portugues (V + according to the guide, although I find the V + more Banyadores Chung) and Xarrupa that Vess (6b), a the few that I have encountered in this sector.
I repeat Pereira, and amount Xarrupa. Low. Upload Pep's Pereira, a "flash" without any problems for him to enjoy the regletillas. Alonso decides to give a touch on top rope, without much conviction, because this route was choked when he tried for the first time in August last year. Start convinced that it will not be able to pass the first movement, but surprisingly (for him) makes it pull on the first try today, apparently without much trouble.
2:41 pm - Pep says: "We've got two minutes of climbing.'s gonna start raining"
2:43 pm - According to Vessa Xarrupa to start, and exactly two minutes after the warning Pep, it starts to rain. We collect and hurried back to the car. And Xarrupa runs again in the inkwell. It's okay, it's good to have projects. Neither I nor perjurer vein swelling or anything.
In short, once again Banyadores, easygoing wildcard school has saved the day.
