Chickadee > First climbing day, me on Poema De Roca (1st Pitch 7a+), after a complete mess first attempt dog-fest, I surprised myself with a clean second ascent (easy...!). Steep cave climbing tufa hugging happiness - oooh the possibilities
Chickadee > The caves were dry! Views out across the valley and town
Chickadee > Bumped into some Chek people, who were living in a well established cave. They were moving out, so, we moved in! Rent free, hassle free, back to nature! Beautiful.
Chickadee > Fran having towel wash on the balcony of our cave-home.

Chickadee > This is the front of the cave-home. Green door, beads, and wide bay windows. Paradise! We had seven neighbouring cave-homes, this dog lived next door.
Chickadee > The canyon entrance - note the walkway on the right at 1/3 height, this was constructed in the 1920s. Its a heavy brick path bolted to the side of the canyon. Today if you want to walk on it you need to do it Via Ferrata style - with a harness and slings and clipping into a safety wire on the off chance that you're the lucky one on it when it finally falls down.
