A little bit of climbing

Climbed with my brother and my sister at Paineras (a road that cuts across the top of a mountain ridge in Rio) where there is a boulder, maybe 30m high, where you can set up a top rope.

The holds are good throughout, but the whole boulder is kind of overhung, which makes it harder than it seems.

I was climbing steadily trying not to get tired, but still got pumped and bailed 5m from the top (didn't help that I was starving and there were bugs eating me).

Awesome! The rock looks nice, and most importantly, you are in the shade!

Nice JK! You're certainly holding down your end of the posting bargain...

Life's not fair.

Did you guys notice how the minute that she's back in Brazil, JK's climbing outfit reverts to a tied-on tube top and short shorts?

I knew you guys would comment on my outfit! LOL.
When its 90 degrees in the shade, you'd want to climb in a bikini too, ok? Plus, there is a little waterfall right next to this climb.

Hey! It was Kenway!

And he's surely the only one who would be climbing in a bikini...
