Rioooooooooooooo !! Here we come in one of the biggest city in the world also named the marvelous city surrounded by forests, huge beaches and impressive rock peaks. Despite of this it is also known for its high criminality surely due to the high contrasts this country has. However no one in the group had any problem at all... but some places surely feels a bit dodgy....
One of the main attraction of Rio is clearly its beaches which in opposite to France beach are widely used for sport like surf obviously, beachvolley, futvoley (only with feet...aye aye), slacklines which are absolutely everywhere and an impressive number of workout stations to do pull-ups, abs, etc... Yeah body culture !

Concerning Hotrock the only choice for Ernie was to be parked quite outside of the city in one of the only campsite of city...30 km from the centre... We did the way and back to Rio one day but as any huge cith thze traffic can be absolutely insane and we decided to move in a hostal inside the city near the famous Copacabana.
Climbing concern the weather was not really with us either damn hot or raining...Thankfully we managed to climb the famous Corcovado with the huge redemptor Christ on the top. Starting pretty early we had perfect conditions in the pretty easy K2 route the classic of the classic of Corcovada. The climbing is nice with a little bit of trad but clearly its more for the setting and the view than the climbing by itself :)
