250kg mountain cross disappeared

Country: Spain

Date of incident: October 12, 2024


The cross in honour of the mountaineers who died on the summit of Udalatx since 1971 has disappeared and its base has been sawn off, with a small saw and a written message mocking the symbol left on the stump. The cross, which was located between the border of Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia, weighed 250 kilos and was ten metres high.

The crucifix has disappeared completely, leaving only its base on which a small saw has been placed, along with a poem criticising the choice of a cross rather than another symbol to honour the dead.
