el pinol...a big rock

Very big….did a day ride out to el pinol and Guatape from Medellin to the mountain lake region of colombia. Reminded me of northern Minnesota....(with mountains)
You can climb up the giant rock for godlike views of the area but im pretty sure osha wouldn’t approve the stairs. Did it anyway …..724 steps later my thighs were shaking twinkies and breathing would have been easier if whoever it was somewhere up the flight hadn’t stolen the air. 20 minutes after reaching the top I regained my sight..... the 360 view well worth the near death experience. down was a breeze thanks to my cool sweet soaked hat. it didnt really look that big from afaruntil i noticed the spec of a rock climber and then you see the staircase... which looks much more structured than it actually ishalf way up they offer some hope that you will actually make it to the top..many dont
and finally you are thereafter..hungry



very hungry
