o abião - part I

And down a narrow and windy fisherman's trail we went in search of a boulder only known from photos and google earth images. Hard to miss given its size. 

After some looking around, Pena decided on a few lines and, the scrubbing and chalking began


Chalking up "Garoupa de Ipanema", a line along the arête 

"Galeão" - 7b cs

"Galeão" - 7b

"Bombordo" - 8a

The spot is nice but doesn't seem to have many boulder lines  


But the most adventurous part of the day was yet to come. Those that have carried a crash pad on a windy day know the feeling of walking like you have a huge sail on your back. So add that to a steep and narrow dirt trail, more than100m up the coast :p

Still to come - "Air force one" - doing the entire arête
