DAY 1: Climbing the Chresta route with Normal
Breakfast at 6:00 am (for those who book the itinerary with the accommodation option) and departure at 6:40 am towards the Baúzinho parking lot . With only a daypack, we will follow a short 10-minute trail to the start of the climb, on the ladder that gives access to the col between Baú and Bauzinho. There will be three pitches totaling 90m of climbing on the Chresta with Normal route, one of the 50 classic routes in Brazil. Reaching P3 around 11:00 am, we will continue on a 10-minute trail to the summit. After a rest break, we will begin the descent by the same route. There will be two rappels, the first of 35m and the second of 10m. Breakfast included in the option with accommodation.
Graduation : 5th sup / A0
Estimated time (round trip): 7am – 9am
-
Physics: average
-
Technique (climbing): high
This is the only traditional climbing route (wall) in our portfolio that does not require a basic course. There are only three pitches with the possibility of crossing the crux using artificial means (stirrups). Without a doubt, this is a much more remarkable and unforgettable experience than climbing using the traditional ferrata.

-
Fleece blouse 200 - 1 unit
Fleece is a type of fabric with high heating power, low weight and good compression. If you want to invest in a material that is even lighter and more compressible but much more expensive, choose a goose down jacket. But be careful! There are several types of down jackets, and many are NOT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR SPORTS. For more information, contact our team. If you DO NOT want to invest, you can replace it with a regular sweatshirt, but this is highly NOT recommended because it is heavier, bulkier and dries slowly if it gets wet.
-
Anorak - 1 unit
This is the most important item in your backpack. It can literally save your life, as it will protect you from hypothermia.

ACCESSORIES
-
Climbing backpack 20 to 35L - 1 unit
