The huge boulders on the top of Bicuda.

Having fun in a boulder on the bottom of Gorges de Notre Dame du Cros.

Nice route to get acquainted to the area. Pros can be used in the first pitch.

Tiago leading the second chimney of Leste. It was his first experience with chimneys, which he dealt really well.

It's a 15m long chimney, just before the tricky crux of Leste.

Here you see Alexandre Charao sitted confortably while Cadu's shadow goes up unprotected.

A 10 mts crack, a unusual rock failure for Brazilian rocks. The day we saw it Cadu got really excited:''It's like Yosemite's cracks!''.

Although most climbings in Lenheiro are Trad ones, this Sport route is really worth.

After a hot morning we decided to climb this amazing route. This is the first pitch which can be protected with friends and stoppers. At the bottom you can see Adriana belaying me.Photo taken by Alechandre Charao.

Just the topo of the longest route in Pernambuco. See topo for details.

A friend leading Stopida, a 5.10 route in the Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf) mountain. For those interested in more info about climbing in Brazil send me an email.

A good bolted route for beginners. Its just one hour walk from Praia Vermelha and the view is incredible. Thanks to Raquel, Tiago and Henrique.

One day climbing in Minas during Carnival. First time in the most famous limestone of Brazil. This route is on the left of Jungle Boy.
