Hi Shartley,
Did you rock climb?
I would like know how to find somebody to rent gear. Is it possible in Aruba?

Hey Fred
I did, but I had to settle for bouldering and climbing easy routes to the top. I did not bring my gear and I never found a place that rents. The website where I got the information (climbing.nl/aruba) is not responsive and I could not find anyone else who rented gear or even taught any classes. In fact, no one I talked to even knew about grapefield or how to get there. In spite of that, I had a real fun day boulderinf around the area. There is a shelf on many of the climbs around 15 to 25 feet up that make for some fun bouldering. I did it around the "tears" section which was in the shade after 10:00. to the left of that is bringamosa which was a little more challenging and higher climbs before the shelf. Mountain Project website has some good info and photos to help find everything. The tears area would have been really fun if I had a rope with what looked like good anchors at the top of overhanging rock. It is very sharp which cuts you up but also helps you stick to the rock. Good luck
