In this shot, Pepi is small and well-camouflaged on the pale rocks. I'm sure you'll find him if you enlarge the picture by clicking on it and take the time to explore all the details that the photograph offers.
Here you can see Pancho climbing another rock in the same area. Pepi and Pancho were brothers and my best friends in those days.
