On the third day, we meet up with Devin and the three of us head in through the tunnel Cave at the top of the steps (Cueva Cabeza de la Vaca), and through to the other side to Paredon de Josue. Devin is a Canadian climber and photographer who is down here for over a month.
Soon after starting, Henri and __, two young Cuban climbers in their early teens join up with us to climb on the same routes.
We warm up on Calentaddo Baterias (10b), Tarentala (10c), and Econommizando (10b/c). Chan Chan de Illusions (11b) has a bit of a tricky section early on that is quite technical with balancy footwork but very fun. I wish to do one more route and tackle Mujer, Peligro y Placerh (11a) - an exposed climb that starts just to the right of an obvious tufa stalactite. It is a very enjoyable climb, but run out in a couple of sections making it quite a scary route to lead.
