Paul trying a new line on Wanderdu. We were very enthousiastic when we arrived...but managed to do only one pitch on this route:-))

This is a view at the very spectacular roof on the razor sharp south pillar of Kaga Tondo (vuelva vd. manana, 5.10d - A2)

The morning of our arrival some local kids came to wake us up and laughed at those crazy white climbers;-)

Hermien and Chris on the first belay stance on the 'voie de raison' on Wanderdu. We lost our way in this ED- route and had to rappel back down.

We set up base camp in the backyard of Salvador's hacienda. Salvador Campillo is a spanish climber who married a local woman and earns his living by guiding in the pyrenees alps in summer. In winter he joins his wife in Dhaari and climbs Mali sandstone.

An overall view of the 5 peaks of the 'aiguilles de garmi'. Kaga Pamari, Kaga Tondo, Wangel Debridu, Wanderdu and Suri Tondo

This is a picture taken from our base camp, in the backyard of Salvador's 'hacienda', with a sunset view over the 'hand of fatma'; from l to r - Kaga Pamari, Kaga Tondo, Wangel Debridu and Wanderdu.

Heinz, Paul, Hermien and I have reached the summit of this remarkable peak after one and a half day of climbing in the hot desert sun. One of the most remarkable climbs I have done so far!!! You can see the summit plateau of Suri Tondo behind us.

This beautiful 2400ft route is probably the longest route on sandstone in the world. It is a 15-pitch climb rated 5.10 (b?) with a very consistent rating (no pitch below 5.8) and no gear installed except for most of the anchors. Cracks are mostly horizont

The normal-route on Wangel Debridu is an 800ft trad climb rated IV+ (about 5.7) and an ideal climb to get used to the rounded holds which are typical for climbing on this type of rock. From the summit we had a magnificent view over the vast desert plains.

Located smack dab in the middle of David's Castle wall is this obvious chimney. A great 5.7 climb - either trad with easy gear placements, or set up your toprope in the cave at the top.

Located in Co Clare, trad climbing on limestone ranging from 5.11b-512c - E4/5(6a)-E6(6c)

Brooke deals with the burly crux of Inverted Layback (5.9). Photo snapped by the belayer.

Brooke ponders the crack after the delicate traverse on CCK (5.7).

Sam Linzell cranks through the thin crux moves of Directississima (5.10b).

Brooke climbs the sweet and long finger crack on the South Face route (5.7). Sam Linzell and Brooke Hoyer are completing their Royal Arches to South Face of North Dome link up that provides a couple thousand feet of climbing.
