Jackson introduced us to Marina, who introduced us to Eva, who invited Erik (and Caroline and I), who invited Tobias & Hannah to come climb with them. It’s amazing (1) how fast networks of climbing friends come together, and (2) how fast you can get to climbing areas from the city–just a 20 minute bus ride and a 10 minute hike.
This is the view of the nearby town from the top of one of the giant ridges that we hiked up, rappelled down, crack-climbed back up, and rappelled down again!
