Climbing Urca - Urubu classic

Fresh air chilling out by the sea. Urubu rock is a classic climbing spot at the base of sugarloaf on the ocean. Marcelo and I went out for a couple laps on some steep slab style ocean moist climbing. It's pretty amazing here in Rio de janeiro, such a bustling city and within less then 10 minute ride on my motorbike, we get to Urca area.... less then 2 square kms and over 100 routes and boulder problems. Finnish the day chilling by the quiet beach next to the parking, sipping on a coconut water.

Few pics from another day out...

we met these guys from another part of Brazil... here on a climbing holiday...
