Counter force moves, some friction and narrow holds makes the first 10 mts of this route.

Working in placing gear in this route. This pitch is one of the easiest of the entire route.

Sunset in the Anachata. Bia on belay after the last pitch of Pateta.

A Classic Area for climbing. You can find aid, sport and trad climbing.

3th pitch of this route leads you to well protected crux.

This pitch has a nice crack wich provides good gear placements.

115 km from São Paulo City. From Dutras road take towards Campos do Jordão. Take right in front of police station. Park the car 800 mts after cross railway

It requires easy movements for warm up. photo by Bia

Main wall of Pedra da Piedade. There are plenty of sport routes.

Alice starting the first moviments of last pitch under Bia´s appreciation.

Leading the first pitch of Facil with Bia on belay.

This pitch requires several dihedral techniques and good foot. This pitch is a little harder than the others.

Second pitch leads to the roof. This pitch requires attention to identify the better way to climb up (expo!).

2 pitch of this route requires a good foot work. The crux of this pitch is just after the crack.

Nice Wall. The approach takes about 40 min from the car. There are lots of routes there (trad and sport). Many of them requires cams and nuts.

5th pitch of this route...remaining two to the summit.

I´m starting the 3th pitch. 35 mts of pure entertainment. The next pitch is fantastic.

Working out after a long day with hard work. I´m climbing a nice route with André Gama on belay. Iluska is wearing a blue helmet.

Hot Day, Nice Route and Girls Waiting for us at the base. All of them mach!!!

First Pitch of this route. It requires some balance.

Upright Walls and solid movements leads to thinking about trainning more.

2th pitch after a long traverse (A2+). Too many action are waiting for us.

I´ve been climbed in this area for a couple of years and I´ve never seen people climbing this route. What happens!!! Easy and strange makes this route different from the others. Go...Go...Go... and check it!!!

Yeahhh. How people fell happy on a summit. 11 pitchs makes difference between going by car or on foot (vertical).

Sergio leading evolution. It is advisable to use a helmet on such wall.
