Escalada La Roca

Los Olivos!

Who needs a belayer?

Nice view of town.



The hostel that I'm staying at rents climbing gear for fairly cheap. I absolutely had to take advantage of that. So yesterday I went out to Los Olivos and had my first experience climbing in South America! There were some people there, but they were part of guided tours so I ended up rope soloing, starting with a nice 5.8 and 5.9. Then a local kid named Williams showed up also looking to rope solo. We spent the rest of the day climbing together and it was really nice. Then we planned to boulder the next day. Last night in the hostel I met a couple from Boston! We hit it off and they decided to join us for bouldering. We had great weather and it was fun introducing them to outdoor bouldering. Tomorrow we'll head back to Los Olivos for another day on the rock.
