Rock climbing has been launched in Surinam

Lucho Birkner, Mateo Barrenengoa and Matias Fuentes, three Chilean climbers joined by the Surinamese guide Julio De Rooy has opened the first sport climbing crag of Surinam in Ebba Top mountain. They opened several sport climbing routes, one traditional multi-pitch line and some boulders in the time they were there, but they said the potential is huge for all these disciplines and all levels. The objective of introducing rock climbing in this amazing country was also to give a tool to the villages at the Saramacca river to help these African people to fight against the forestals and miners whit out the necessity of cutting any trees. They also build an artificial boulder wall in the Boslantie Village to promote the motivation for the kids who live next to these rocks as they also teach them and gave them the sport climbing equipment necessary to climb on their own. At the same time, they help to build the first climbing gym in the city of Paramaribo. Whit this we can say now that Surinam is on the rock climbing map and that all the adventurers who want to have a jungle experience climbing and setting new routes are welcome.
