Cuscuzeiro

After a few days in Rio the group decides to leave the city pretty early as the climbing logistic is too much of a pain. So next destination, Cipo, which is by the locals the BEST crag in Brazil. We're pretty sure it is. At least it looks awesome with some crazy overhanging walls up to 60m and a very featured limestone like rock. Unfortunately  for us it's just rained, rained, rained for 3 days in a row.... and even the overhanging routes were completely soaked :'(
So we decided to move to a supposedly less rainy area further south, Cuscuzeiro !
Good bet, the weather was much better (only a few showers) and the rock, a very thin sandstone, absolutely wonderful. All this in a very jungle scenery full of insects, birds, huge lizards and supposedly full of snakes like rattles snakes but we haven't seen any :(
In the middle of our stay there we went to a mountain festival organized in a nearby University where we met very friendly brazilian climbers but the lectures...in portuguese...haven't convinced the HotRockers back to Uni to sleep...

No more gas... Remy cooks on fire
