On August 6th to August 8th 2012, I climbed (with Roger and Augusto) La Esfinge. It was an incredible experience climbing a big wall in a foriegn country at such a high elevation and with such fun partners.

So great!

But seriously man, if people would build more of a TR here, rather than putting their blog link up, they'd get more attention for their trip.
