Here i am bouldering "el nene", in the ground, my friend Oscar

This shot was taken at Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, in Mexico. It was new year eve while i was at El Potrero Chico, the sport climbing paradise. I felt sort of lucky with this photo, since i was there 3:00 am looking for a good shot of "Spires" (These 200 ft rock horns on the west side of the canyon) and the moon wich in that time was beautiful. I had the idea in my mind of the shot that i was looking for, however the "lucky strike" came when i suddenly saw a light moving upward... It was a climber who was almost to get to the top of that route. The last thing that i could imagine that night was that i would find a climber there at that particular time... 3:00 am. That was my serendipitous moment where everything fell into place. Two minutes later the moon was hidden on the rock and the climbers disappeared into the darkness...

this picture was taken while i was rappeling on one of the cascades of El Chiflon

here i am pulling the rope in the cave for next rappel

This is the foot of my friend Neto trying not to fall on me....

Here i was on one of my first times in the slackline...

Here is my friend Neto, he was the lucky one who was falling to the water

This pic was taken for my friend Alex, is the union of the water of the "Chipitin" waterfall with the "Las Adjuntas" river
