Rundown: Climbing season in Chile!
This has been the climbing year. Really have been consistently climbing twice a week or so since February with our friends. Here, Sergio and Kara introduced their son to the sport.
Maybe the lip-bite will help on overhang with poor feet and tiny crimpers. Most likely not though.
Belaying Sergio on more overhang. Dang. He's so tall he can stand at the bottom and clip the anchors! Makes us feel like climbing punks! But so fun to climb with people that push you!
Fabulous scenery with snow-capped peaks laughing at our tiny rock assaults. Keeps you humble.
Miranda killing it on the overhung 5.10 with a lot of right arm pump.
Althought El Manzano is a great place, most of our climbing is in La Quebrada in Arrayan, just 10 minutes from home. We're really spoiled to be able to climb so close. Here Ben leads the 5.11 flake route we worked on most of the autumn called 'Jesu Paz Amigo' and Elizabeth cleans it.
Sergio and Ben monkeying around. Fun to get into better climbing shape and technique!
Until next time, shake it out, keep it loose.
