The Gonsalo test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Leib's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Gonsalo climbed just as high around 1930, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Gonsalo's path sketches the road Leib is walking now.
