Traversing in the sun on Amptrax
Chamois things that can climb harder slabs than we can, they struggle with finger locks though |

| Awesome 6b+ pitch on El Navegator |
First few days in Chorro and me and Soph have done some fun stuff. We started off with the classic easy multipitch Amptrax (6a+) which was great. We abbed off after 7 pitches as the sun was going down but not sure we abbed in quite the right place, we think going an extra pitch gives a better line of anchors. The next day I was grumbling about my calves which are no longer used to slab climbing after 3 months of inactivity but we went climbing anyway and they survived.
We warmed up at Sector Suiza on the arab steps and did a nice 6b Dos tetas tiran and then did an excellent multipitch El Navegator (7a+). Sophie did the two trickiest pitches, the bolting is ok but a bit spaced on the 6c pitch and annoyingly the crux is very badly bolted (but escapable). There is a totally fab cracked wall pitch and the last two pitches are in a fantastic position which makes it totally worth doing.
New years eve was spent at la finca which was serving mohitos! I really like mohitos.
