 Day Two - Intermediate ClimbingOn the second day more of the same but with more challenging pitches. And, since you don't spend so much time on fundamentals of knot and techniques, you get in a lot more climbing (and rapelling!). |

<<Ready to go on the second day, with Hidden Falls in the background... from left to right: Liza, George, Oscar, JB & Ariane. We went directly into some of the more difficult climbs that we had seen other groups doing the day before... | |
|
These are a couple of the climbs... The one on the right is called the Open Book (if I'm not mistaken). At least on these kinds of climbs, there are a good number of solid hand- and foot-holds so they didn't make me a nervous as some of the pitches that maybe weren't as steep but you have to trust in the friction (and not a good hand-hold) to keep from slipping. |
