I like the first picture very much, what a cute little thing. Was he the better climber or you ?

nice... though shame there is none of you climbing. is the second one the rockface you climbed? it looks kind of overgrown... what difficulty was the climb? was it a long one with many pitches? or one/several short routes?

on that wall the shortest is 3 pitches (what we did) the longest is a bit further and goes to the gonodla station and would be 7 pitches.
the routes are just between the green. so it is not in your way at all.
it is granit that you climb on. we thought this is a very easy route (rated as an brazilan 3). it was way harder than we expected. i'd have rated it as a 5- (if i'd rate the german way) and the heat is also something that you have to get used too.
the monkey was the better climber, at least in the trees.
if i manage to go climbing next week (this time we planed to climb another rock with short routes) i will try to bring my little camera that i can hook to the harness. but still there will be no pics from me climbing. my partner really dislike to make pictures while belaying.

yeah i can imagine that in the heat it is more difficult, with sweaty hands and all... well 5- sounds nice anyway (as long as i don't have to lead, indoors i'd lead that but on real rock i am usually scared and only lead really really easy ones)... did you lead? and are the routes there bolted, or do you have to place your own protection? (sorry for the many questions, but i am very curious how climbing is there)
yeah well i suppose it is better not to make pictures while belaying, though i have sometimes done that...
i have only ever done one multi-pitch route yet, as i usually climb in the Ith, and once each in the Harz, in Elbsandstein, and in Franken - so in all of those one-pitch routes are more common... but in franken we did one two-pitch route, and then added another little bit of a different route as a third pitch (though it was only a few more meters) to get to the top...

no i was not leading, i would have be scared. specially if i expect something more easy.
it is all bolted. (of course there are route that are "traditional"..) and here and the sugar loaf there actually nice bolted, very often the bolts are quite a bit apart, specially if the route is "easy"
i think here in brazil are a lot of climbers, good climbers.
i wanna climb elbesandstein! one day...

well, let's go there together one day! though in elbsandstein, i won't lead anything harder than a three, i think, and only if there are lots of sanduhren - because i don't know how to place any other slings... and you aren't allowed to use nuts or cams or friends or similar there...
i'd love to climb in brazil one day. well and just to see brazil, too. but the climbing too...
