Well the first couple of days in Ibanez has been great, unfortunately one of the group has got an eye infection, so I have driven him 2 hours back to Coyhaique. The group made there first multipitch leads on a sports routes. They are still out with Thomas today, and I hope to be back with the group tomorrow.
Here are some pictures, rumour has it a rock trip (maybe the petzl one?) will be visiting the area we are climbing in January.

Nice to see proper leisure facilities, could almost be home!
Hi Jimbob
You should wait till you see what we did to one of those little fuckers. It will teach him for waking me up in the morning! He certainly didn’t wake me up again or anyone for that matter!
