I had a hate-love relationship with this route. It is a great route with a weird style, wet holds, a lot of plants, long moves, lose rock, a bit of exposure and crazy beautiful views in every single pitch.

This week was a little different for me, long hikes are not really my thing (I don’t really like long walks) but decided to spend a couple of days in the Bibbulmun Track and it was an interesting experience. During day one I started with a pretty good pace (I actually thought that if I hit to the campsite early I might be able to walk to the next one) but I was too preoccupied with looking at the road that I missed the markers... 4 times and got lost for a long time which ended up in me thinking I was going to die in the middle of the woods but after I what it seemed like forever I finally got to the cabin, and I met a really great 64 year old man that was doing the whole trail. On day two we decided to walk together to the next cabin since none of us was really in a hurry to get to town we could do one cabin per day and make it on time. That was actually a pretty good idea because we talked a lot while we were walking and made the hike much more fun, until we got to the base of mt. Wells where we had to walk through pretty steep terrain to get to the top and the campsite. When we got there it was all foggy and started to rain a little bit so that didn't get out hopes high for the next day. Day 3 we woke up super early and started walking as soon as we finished breakfast because we were afraid that it was going to rain, thankfully it didn't. But it was really windy and cold ❄️ this time the hike was longer but easier since there were no climbs, we walked through an incredible forest and didn't miss any markers (that made me really happy) and we got to camp a little bit after midday and lit a fire because it was getting really cold. That night Olly came by for dinner which was the most amazing thing ever!!! But it was also the worst night because it was crazy cold and I woke up a lot of times. The last day I didn't really want to wake up because I had the worst night ever but I had to start walking if I wanted to get to town. At the end it was a really cold, tiring but beautiful walk along the railway. I still don't understand how is it that I enjoy this kind of type 2 fun stuff,but when you remember all that happened, maybe it wasn't that bad, it was awesome https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0VU1Xgm2p/?igshid=1izb4wno2aeby

Almost weekend!! Not that I really have to wait to go climbing but I kind of do. I was looking at some old pictures (not really that old) and realized that I need to take new ones and work a little in my photography skills that are getting a little rusty. So I was thinking that maybe Saturday could be a “taking pictures day” and Sunday a climbing day. Sounds like a good idea? What are your plans for the weekend? 📷 by the awesome @arcelia_climbing (at Aculco, Mexico, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjvdXphzbx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9hnlb45k65dn

Step by step.
It’s really funny how sometimes we start overthinking what could happen once you are above the quickdraw. How bad could the fall be… until you realize it’s not that bad at all. But you have to be willing to fly. 📷 by @drclimbmx • • • • • • #caminoalcapitan #climbing #rockclimbing #explore #rockclimbingwomen #outdoor_woman_mexico #mountaingirls #adventure #camping #climbinglife #womenonlead #outdoorwoman #sportclimbing #runitout #escalada #sheexplores #explore #travel #dirtbag #discovertheworld #destination (at El Salto, Nuevo Leon, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_KtOZhtm_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wh761h4fhrry

Climbing in el Nevado was a quite different experience, but I kind of loved it!! Specially this pitch, that we were not able to do because chimneys are scary without protection (no way we were going to run it out) Photo 📷 by the awesome @diegomountain • • • • • • #onepitchatatime #climbing #rockclimbing #rock #outdoor_woman_mexico #mountaingirls #adventure #alpine #climbinglife #womenonlead #outdoorwoman #tradisrad #runitout #escalada #sheexplores #explore #travel #dirtbag #discovertheworld (at Nevado de Toluca) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs1ZXaWBsBp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19vjtkwndpxqn

I got a bit obsessed with this beautiful route “Menage a toi” ( I think) for a couple of days just to realize that I didn’t even got to the hard part, but I had a lot of fun, maybe next time... 📷 @drclimbmx • • • • #rockclimbing #explore #mexico #womenonlead (at El Salto, Nuevo Leon, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsdp0YwFDnp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b9v79421be0x

After three months filled with adventure, traveling, climbing, camping is time to go back home... On one side I am sad that this adventure he comes to an end, but on the other, I am grateful for all the amazing people I've met and all that I have learned. Now I am super psyched to see my family and friends back home and to start training for new projects! • • • • • • #outdoorwomen #climbing #climbing_is_my_passion #rockclimbing #destinations #outdoor_woman_mexico #sportclimbing #home #explore #mexico #travel #sheexplores #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #discoverearth (at Bernal, Queretaro De Arteaga, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRPY_6hnnh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o2em7ldxx0mz
