Felipe Camargo and Sasha DiGiulian Free Brazil Big Wall

Sasha DiGiulian and Felipe Camargo have made the first free ascent of Planeta dos Macacos (Planet of the Monkeys), a 650-metre 5.13c. The new hard route climb up the big face on the Pedra Riscada in Brazil. The strong team sent the 14-pitch line in two days, with DiGiulian onsighting her pitches. Some have refereed to the wall as the Yosemite of Brazil.

Sending one of the crux pitches. The climb is made up of several .13c/d (8a+/8b) sections. It's appx 2350 ft ? @brungraciano ? #bigwall @_felipecamargo_ ?? #firstascents #brazil
