Looks like I ran out of easy routes in Fenda...
now I really need to start climbing 6a's ;)
Well, I went to Guia again on Saturday... but there I Redpointed (flash) just a IV and IV+ I guess. The V and V+ were both toprope (or was it just the last one?)
And then, in Fenda, I returned to the very first overhanging route I ever tried (toprope): Jardim da Celeste... and I Redpointed it on the first try!
Hard work it was.
Nice day.

My first V+
Finally I did it!
I redpointed "Abre as pernas e avia-te" in Fenda!
Thanks to Miquelinho who belayed me in the end of the day (and also on one V route before ;)
...so great... now I can really have a peacefull month of vacation in my country ;)
And on Sunday... I went to Mecca... a bouldering place in Sintra... a beautifull place. It was one of these splendid sunny days with cotton-like clouds scattered over the sky.
I did there one boulder "Adherencia V"(I was too week for the other V boulder...), and I also embraced few other rocks... got many scratches... one "steak" in my finger, another on my heel (on the way back), so now I cannot put on the climbing shoes an have to work on final projects ;-)

Santo Antonio
I think I like this saint...
...he gave me the chance to climb Abre as pernas e aviate again. And try the beginning of two 6b routes: Berber and Shaman (what a names!)
...more holidays... more climbing... Yes please!

The Day III
Yesterday was my great day three ;)
Of course I am writing that because I went climbing again.
Rainy morning turn out to be another splendid day in Serra da Arrabida.
We went to Fenda, where I climbed three nice routes, and tried a bit more hard one in the end... all toprope, of course, I am a coward person, am I not? ;)
The first one I climbed was probably Quinto pirata. I am just guessing, but as it was pretty nice and this one is supposed to be the III+ difficulty... so it looks like a match.
The one I went to try then might had been Jardim da Celeste V+. My first overhanging route. Luckily, I was toprope, so I could had a rest few times... and in the end, I made it to the top!
My third one was called Abre as pernas e avia-te. I am pretty shure about the name, because it made others laugh a lot when they were translating it like "stretch-out your legs and do it". It was kind of high, but very nice. Although difficult (V+), I somehow managed. Happy me!
Well and then we went to the last sector, called Rampa, full of difficult routes. I was crying for an easy one so much, that Miguel put some expresses to one route... it looks like, it was called Bad boy, but other climbers kept telling me, that the name is something like "Nice girls don't climb". Well, that can make me feel good, as I might be a nice girl: although it was supposed to be "just" 6b+, I did not get not even to the half. But I tried... take a look:
...more pictures will be in my gallery later on.
By the way, if you want to search for Fenda on internet, try searchin also for Portinho da Arrábida. And try also Crocodilos... looks like only local climbers call that beautifull sector Rampa.
