Paute is another crag near Cuenca. It's got about 70 bolted sport routes. We spend couple of days there enjoying sunny weather and climbing many nice routes with our Colombian friends.
Nice 15 minutes walk from the parking area to the crag.
Again we were surrounded by remote countryside. The altitude of this place is lower than the other climbing places we have visited, so the weather is milder and warmer.
Only our crew climbing. The crags in Ecuador aren't busy places, very few climbers around, so we could happily scatter our stuff everywhere.
Iitu flashing La Primera 6a+
Struggling on the crux.
Caro on a Roba Bolts 6b+
Me on a crux of Roba Bolts, doing it hard way as usual.
King Arthur of Colombia climbing La Primera. He had been climbing only 7 months, but flashed alredy 6b routes. Pretty good progress.
Juan leading easily the route Complemento 6b+.
Ileana climbing the strenuous La Faraona 7a+. Tensión, tensión!
Iitu climbing the cactus route. There was a very spiky cactus growing above the crux as you can see...
...she fell on the crux. It took some time to pick all the spikes up from her knees. Nasty route, poor brave girl.
Gabriel climbing the classic overhanging Dona Pili 7b.
Our kid Malik.
Mateo smoking and Ile passed out. Common view.
And after some tobacco Mateo climbed very easily Arista del Haztelo 7c.
I tried to flash it too. Didn't quite make it.
Ile on a route Don Polla 7a+
Caro enjoying the day
One day Chiva and Juan Gabriel invited us their for a dinner. Guess what we ate? Guinea Pigs off course. Delicious!
