Moving on, falling together…
Odina and I had a great climbing Sunday. I took her to Aculco Canyon early in the morning so she could know the place and get an idea of the kind of climbing done there. Of course, not without an obligated stop to buy some sweet bread from Aculco town. From there we headed to Peña Bernal, I wanted to do a bit of multi-pitch climbing and rappelling to teach her the basics of moving on larger routes.
It was a very hot day, with almost no clouds around. We climbed the Southeast ramp route (5.7 R) and spent a couple of hours resting and chatting at the balconies on its top. I must say that she did very well with the rope management, belaying and climbing. She has ability as well as good attitude, I’m sure that she’ll become very good with practice 
In the afternoon, she did a bit of rappelling while I twice free-soloed the last pitch of the route. We hiked down the monolith and headed to Filo Sureste so I could show her the beautiful Filo Noroccidental route while the sun started to set.
We got back to the car at around 7:30 p.m. and went to Bernal’s downtown. We were very thirsty and wanted to enjoy some micheladas at the plaza. We made a toast for the great climbing day and chatted for a couple of hours until it was time to come back to the city.
By midnight we headed back to Aculco, I wanted her to eat the famous tacos by the plaza. We arrived a bit late and the tacos stand was closing, instead we discovered some amazing tortas at the next stand. After the extremely tasty breakfast-lunch-dinner meal we finally headed back to the city, enjoying every minute of the great long day together…
