Nice route in the beauty and small wall of totanka. photo by baigot

Rulo climbing a nice problem (we don’t know the name) maybe a 7a+ (French) you can see how focus he was.

This is a short 5.11b (6c Fb) route where Leo clipped before the crux.

The second of three photos of Juancho cruising up Baby Boom. Here he gets to the business on the exciting exit roof.

This is a not good placement of a Nº5 Camalot in a not happy Trad route during a traverse section...no other pro was posible...I did this route leading and my partner was not happy with this pro (i mean it).

Se trata del 7a pocas veces probado por nosotreos. una linda placa con algunas fisuras angostas y ciegas que corren sobre la misma y que exijen bastanmte. Un atardecer en totanca, con amigos, sol y una camara para probar tomas raras. Que mas?

Haciendo parecer las paredes un poco mas grandes con ayuda del ojo de pez de santiago. Bueno igual no hace falta mucha mas altura para obtener dificultad asi que....... a escalar!!

This is me (baigot) rappeling down after cleaning a easy route (perhaps f5-5.7) in Difuntos Viejolandia. Nice to learn the basics

Un lindo dia del mes de abril, como para quedarse escalando hasta tarde.

Asi son los pasos de esta linda via de la zona de totanka.

Me (in front) with Santi (back) drinking a good Mate in the belay station, after accomplished a night climb of Gusanito, a nice 5.10b trad climb in Paredes Rojas en la sierra de Difuntos.

Cecilia Jane Bratten resting between a flurry of boulder problems at the base of the wall in in Totanka, Difuntos.

Martin seeing if he can will the rope into the draw without letting go of those nice jugs. Although I don't know the name of this route in Difuntos, I can assure you it's one of the most action packed 5.9s that you'll ever find.

This small wall in Difuntos is called Totanka, and though it may not look like much, it's home to about 15 excellent sport routes, ranging from 5.7 to 5.12.

I don't know what this route is called, by it packs more exciting 5.9 moves into 4 bolts than most routes twice its length. Here's a shot of Martin powering his 200 pound body past the first crux while Gaby carefully examines the rope pattern.

The beautiful estancia at the base of Difuntos was actually owned by a Mexican drug lord's widow, who fled to Argentina in an attempt to control her dead husband's enormous wealth. Later commandeered by the Argentine army, Difuntos was closed off for several years. Here's a shot of Analia taking advantage of the area's newly reopened status, by topping out on the aesthetic 5.7 route De Las Avipas.

Great 5.10s abound, not to mention 5.11s and 5.12s, but you can count all the good 5.7 routes in the Sierras of Balcarce on one finger of one one hand. Here's a shot of Analia climbing De Las Avispas, that one, good 5.7 route, while her husband Martin pulls in the slack.

Gaby Cendoya makes short shrift of the tricky crux at the start of this 10a

Santiago Gonzalez pushin´ hard the crux of FutbolFan, 7b+ in Pitufilandia.

Ready to clip after the low crux of Black Snake.

Nice landscape, wish that route was twice as long! This is the closest rock to where I live, a four-hour drive on a Saturday morning.

The last of three photos of Mar del Plata's Juancho crusing up Baby Boom. Here he gets ready for the crux move, which is a heel hook out right and a strong reach.

The first of three photos of Mar del Plata's Juancho cruising up Baby Boom. Note the big roof (with the exit crux) waiting above.

This is me climbing Canchis-Canchis, 6c, in Pitufilandia. This is a long sustained route, nice power moves and one or two technical moves.

One sunny day last winter, Esteban and myself encoutered in Difuntos to make an Asado (a typical Argentinian Barbacue) and climb a lot. While we were aproaching to the Crag i saw Esteban deep in his thoughts and took the shot with my camera. (FujiFilm S5600, B&W Simulation ILFORD SFX).
