I realy hope, you renember yours first day at the rock. this picture it's triyng to show you that. At the top Pili the student, then wallabass our teacher... and the lazy photographer resting at the bottom. This chilean area it's realy very hot on summer time.

This picture was taken by Pili, in our lounch break. We work on the next town "Llay Llay", and i was very happy to get to the top. and of course , i'm the beginner.

Bien, sacada en red point, que rico es poder escalar a la hora de almuerzo....

aca mi amigo el pan con te tratando de subir por primera vez una ruta

dos amigos, el willy y la shofa subiendo a dos rutas distintas al mismo tiempo

this is a picture of my friend Pelao Otero on his first day on rock, "dale pelaoooo"

this is a picture of me warming up on las chilcas, this area is realy close to the highway

I remember this as one of my happy moments climbing, was good day......I remember those days of climbing addiction, the friends and all the stuff. The route in this context it's irrelevant, but if you ever go to chilcas you have to try it, it's a classic 11d. Thanks nacho for the picture.

my first 5.10, the other guy in the picture is my friend "Zombie", he's a pretty good climber, me, well i'm climbing since may, so i'm just learning

This is the northern side of las chilcas at the end of winter, don't expect to see it this green. See if you can spot the climbers in the rather dark spot in the middle of the pic, just a spec, should give you some idea of the scale. There are routes on this face but they're new and not in the guide book

pretty nice route, with large movements. 5.11d

Watch out doing this route, its a good climb but the anchor is rusted and looks like its going to fall out!!!
