Ostadar Mendi Taldea publishes 'The Mountain Dictionary'
The lazkaotarra Jonmikel Intsausti has brought together in this work three hobbies: mountaineering, the computer profession and the vascophilous. He has worked for six years. It has not acted alone, it has had the collaboration of members of Ostadar Mendi Taldea, the Basque association Zintzo Mintzo de Urretxu-Zumarraga and experts from different areas related to the mountain.
The dictionary contains more than 6,000 terms, ranging from the Basque to the Spanish, and can be consulted in the inverse sense. The Mountain Dictionary will not be published on paper, among other reasons because they do not have sufficient economic resources to do so. However, it is in the network www.ostadar.org.
According to Intsausti, the mountain is a very wide area for those of Ostadar and therefore have taken into account many areas: botany, climbing, high mountain, geography, speleology, etc.
The dictionary has been nourished through sources such as Hiztegi Batua, Elhuyar, UZEI or Wikipedia. However, the richest source has been the documents written on mountain routes by Ostadar Mendi Taldea for twenty years.
The dictionary can be consulted in letter to letter, you can also do a free search, and it is in full in pdf format.

In a one-hour commute to the workplace, I am accompanied by the car radio. On yesterday's journey, I had the opportunity to enjoy a short story program, as the last port of the road, full of curves, began in Karrantza. Short legends, yes, of few words, but stories of great... [+]
