Three
groups of
tremendous rock towers in the foothills of the Pyrenees in Northern
Spain, some with peaks over 300 meters, have

“Cigar”. This is the factual story (with some
re-enactments) of the attempts, failures and ultimate conquest of this
great peak. This film has won multiple awards
at numerous film festivals.
