climbing at Las Chilcas

It has been a long long time I haven't climbed... Neither indoor (for different reasons, one being that I now live further away from the climbing gym - lame, another reason being that I haven't been much in Chile during the week and busy with salsa lessons in the evening when I was...), neither outdoors (it was winter time here!)
Anyway... This week end was a 3 day week end in Chile and I did go out and climb! (or at least try to...)
We went to the famous climbing spot called "las chilcas", about one hour north of Santiago (North West to be more exact).
Despite the nearby motorway, we had a pretty good time, although after a few months without climbing my performance wasn't very impressive!!
I took my camera there and make the most of the occasion to play with my new lens. I think I spent more time taking pictures of my climbing buddies Benoit and Pancho than actually climbing myself but well... I was still very exhausted by the end (maybe that's all the running around to take the photos)

Sunset from my balcony




I haven't been blogging much lately...
Probably amongst other things because I have been traveling a lot for work in the last few weeks and thus when I'm home (yeah, I don't blog away from home :p) I don't do so much, especially with my camera, hence no blogging...
I actually went out today to climb (more on that in the next post) but it comes out that there was ONE photo left on my camera, that was sitting there idle for a month waiting for someone to look at it... :-)
And yes, it is AGAIN one of those magical sunset I have the luck to witness every now and then when on my computer staring outside my window.

I think the colors in the sky that evening at dusk were amazing. So I share it with you.... whoever you may be ;-)
