Calling all Victorian climbers...

In 2011 and 2012 Hot Rock will visit the best climbing to be found throughout South America.

We will take 7 months to travel overland from Ushuaia, at the southernmost tip of the continent, to the equator in Ecuador. Then, we'll turn round and go back again!

On the way we will take in all the top destinations and some lesser known ones too, from the endless granite of Argentina and Chile to the urban sandstone of Rio, and from the high deserts of Bolivia, to the snowy heights of Peru and Ecuador.

This rock climbing expedition offers plenty of scope for alpinists too... Fitzroy, Aconcagua, Huascaran, Cotopaxi and many others can all be included in the itinerary. And of course, we won't miss any of the major travelling sights along the route either.

The route is designed to make the most of the weather in virtually every destination along the way, and we expect to be in climbing venues over 60% of the time.

Why not join us?

cheers!

fair enough. It's actually a mixture - Rio (city) is granite and gneiss, Rio (state) has a lot of sandstone. I guess I was just trying to say that there's a wide range of rock types encountered throughout the trip. Could have put it better really!
