Being at the top of Pico do Escalavrado is a unique experience. The peak is 1,420 meters / 4,659 feet above sea level and offers a breathtaking view of the city of Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara Bay. The trail to the summit is steep and challenging, but the effort was worth it for the sense of achievement when I reached the top.

 

Here are some of the meanings of being on the summit of Pico do Escalavrado:

 

Achievement: The ascent to the peak is a personal achievement. It is a challenge that requires physical strength, endurance and determination. Upon reaching the top, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

 

Connection: The peak of Escalavrado is a place of connection with nature. As I looked out over the stunning landscape, I felt small and insignificant, but also part of something bigger. I felt a sense of peace and serenity.

 

Inspiration: The peak of Escalavrado is a place of inspiration. Looking at the city of Rio de Janeiro, I felt inspired to reach my goals. I know anything is possible if I try hard enough.

 

Gratitude: Escalavrado peak is a place of gratitude. As I looked out over the landscape, I felt grateful for the beauty of the world around me. I also felt grateful for the people in my life.

  

If you are looking for a unique and challenging experience, I recommend the climb to Pico do Escalavrado. It's an experience you'll never forget.

Investing our time into ascending this face was really a good idea, only our 3 into the face and ˜50 cm of fresh wind-compressed powder for a memorable descent <3

I've just got back from another trip to Snowdonia, since moving away I just can't seem to get back as much as I want! I had a jam packed week of climbs and routes I wanted to tick off and the camera came along when it could.

 

This was taken on top of the knife edge ridge that is Crib Goch, this was the first time that I managed to get the Mrs up there and I think she thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Thanks for looking!

This shot was taken last weekend close to Sólheimajökull glacier. Me and my group made camp there over night in freezing temperatures. Just before bedtime the northern lights made their appearance dancing around in green haze.

This picture part of my new project “The 16 Travellin’ Minifigures”, where I pack a combination of 16 Lego minifigs and I bring them with me in my travels in search of inspiration. Every minifigure has the chance to be portrayed depending on the landscape, colors and details around me!
