DESCRIPTION
This climbing area was born from the pioneering work of local climbers Pedro Melo, Ernesto Silva and Luรญs Guimarรฃes. They started by cleaning and equipping the โ€œRatattouilleโ€ route, on June 3, 2012, returning a few days later to equip the โ€œTrinca Espinhasโ€ (also known as โ€œCompridaโ€). In mid-July, moved by the potential that seemed great on that wall, Paulo Vaz joined, equipping classics such as โ€œFonteโ€ and โ€œOde to Jรณiaโ€. Joรฃo Pereira (local climber), made his contribution, leaving his name on the โ€œMulataโ€ and โ€œChapaโ€ routes. A couple of years later, Paulo โ€œJรณiaโ€ Rego, Tarso Costa and Za Patxillas expanded the number of routes by equipping โ€œEstica Esticaโ€, โ€œSรฃo Sebastiรฃoโ€, โ€œDolmenโ€ and others. The scenery was much more composed, but there was still room for lines that would make the area more complete and diverse. Starting their equipment work in 2019, Tomรกs Fontes and Bruno Bagnari expanded the offer by opening routes such as the โ€œRichter Scaleโ€, โ€œSaltimbrocasโ€, โ€œQuarto Crescenteโ€, โ€œHoras Extraโ€ and โ€œOde Triunfalโ€, placing this area climbing in one of the most interesting and well developed in the Azores. It is also one of the largest to date, with more than 40 equipped routes.
