The feel of the rock

Finally, after almost a year, got to do some climbing outside! Found a guide who's a good climber and has the equipment. It's also been mostly sunny here, which was a pleasant surprise since it's the rainy season and I'd heard that none of the climbing areas were dry.

Also working on the map for the Búa territory, which has become a political issue since in spite of our explanations to the contrary a group of local people have been spreading rumors that the purpose of this is to raise taxes. The map will integrate GPS coordinates of houses and parcels together with an aerial photo from the government's Instituto Geográfico Militar.
