Climbing in Suesca

I spent a few days staying in Suesca, the town said to be responsible for bringing rock climbing to Colombia. Following the rail road track is a long wall of sandstone that provides perfect conditions for a fantastic variety of climbing. I stayed with a Couch Surfer and his wife and son in their very rural home on a grassy slope, surrounded by eucalyptus trees, cows and barking dogs. I was taken out to the rocks to learn how to tactfully heave my body, in its inseparable entirety, up a vertical surface. Multiple times. Using my four limbs and all sorts of gear I'd never even seen before, I managed to scramble skywards and thoroughly enjoy myself.
