We had a great time with Evelyne this week on a last-minute trip to Dedo de Deus. December is not the best time to climb on Parque Nacional Serra dos Órgãos, and between El Niño and gobal warming, the weather here on the topical mountains is getting even crazier than it used be during summer.
Andrew and Eve left Rio at 5:30am by motorcycle, started the steep approach at 7am, climbed Dedo until the top by the classic East face route surrounded by clouds, and had just finished the last rappel at 12:30,  when a light rain started to fall
The ride down to Rio was another adventure,  not so much for the weather, but because of Rio’s wild traffic. They were finally back in town by 4 pm, feeling exhausted but happy about their good strategy, timing, and also luck! 30 minutes later, a strong rain fell on Teresópolis.
Thanks again for climbing with us, Eve ! We will be waiting for your next visit.

Climbing in Rio during December is no easy stuff.
Stick to the shadow or pay the price.

COME CLIMB WITH US!

The first picture shows a climber on the very last meters of Italianos route on the Sugarloaf, with Botafogo beach and Corcovado in the background.
The second picture was taken on the second pitch of K2 route on Corcovado mountain, with the opposite view of the first, showing the same climber with the Sugarloaf and Guanabara bay in the back.
