Latest Video from Argentina of Ee Fu and I climbing Armonica (6a). Armonica (6a) is a classic 6 pitch trad climb to the summit of Aguja Campanille Alto (3,400m) in Argentina. The crux of the climb in an excellent 6a hand jamming crack on a vertical headwall. I was suffering the effects of the flu and the steep walk in. See how Ee Fu and I made out.

Also bonus video of Manuel Fix climbing Thor (7a+) in La Ola, Argentina.
The title of the blog is inspired by Ricky Martin’s 1999 hit, Livin’ La Vida Loca (Livin’ the Crazy Life) – somehow it seems fitting. Conveniently enough, ‘roca’, the Spanish word for rock, rhymes with ‘loca’, Spanish for crazy,…hmmm…coincidence? You decide, as we cling to cliffs and dangle from our digits, bouncing through South America, livin’ la vida roca (livin’ the rock life).
