Rock Climbing

Hi Friends!

I've been busy lately searching jobs, trying to see all my old friends, catching up with family...

But last weekend I decided to enjoy my "vacation" and went to a city close to my parents, called São Bento do Sapucaí.

This city is known for having a huge rock where people come from everywhere to rock climbing. It's height is 1.950 meters (6.400 feet) and the view is breathtaking! Ah, and it's name is "Pedra do Baú".

My friend and I climbed all the stairs - yes, stairs attached to the rock, with no special equipments! -, reached the summit and enjoyed the amazing view from the top.

That was the second time I climbed the stairs to the top and now I promise that was the last time without protections and equipments.

When you get to the top and you realize how high the rock is, you also realize that you have to be a little bit insane to go up there using only your hands, arms and legs; no ropes, no cords, no helmets, no nothing!

Anyways, we made our way back safe.

Have a great week!
=)
