Video #27 "Conceicao"

So as you can see from the previous post I am now with a heavy heart after the tremendous loss of my good friends Micah Dash, Jonny Copp and Wade Johnson. Micah was one of my best friends...a brother from another mother, and I'm just crushed. His body has not been found and it seems that his final resting place will be in the mountains which he loved so much. While some people are lacking closure because Micah was not found, I find it a poetic ending to a beautiful life and think it adds to the true legend that Micah was and always will be. Long Live Micah Dash, Jonny Copp, and Wade Johnson!!!

To take my mind of of my sadness I have been hiding in final cut, editing this dispatch that you are checking out. Stay Tuned from more dispatches with the very very best saved for last. Next up Highlining in Cipo, and then...WOW! For those who have become regulars here at vertical carnival...GOOD NEWS! I'm keeping the blog alive...so stay tuned for more original videos capturing me and my friends adventures in Colorado, California and Beyond!!! Cheers every one and lots of love..>Cedar.

Took an hour drive from Serra do Cipo and discovered world class quartzite bouldering in a place called Conceicao! Brazil is truly a wellspring of quality rock. From Limestone, to Quartzite, to Granite, to Basalt, to Volcanic, and from the very small to the very big...this is the land of amazing rocks

  1. Just came across this blog recently. Awesome stuff! I'm from Rio but have been living in California for the past 10 years. I started climbing in the US, but always try to do some climbing in Brasil when I go back to visit. I'm stoked to check out Serra do Cipo. What's the best time of the year to climb there?

  15. I really love how your blog looks. This place is really amazing. I enjoyed your photo and Lamurias video. This is a great post. Damn Cedar all these videos vary nice. Brazil is truly rock place. I am from India next year I will come Brazil. I've been really enjoying all your travelogue posts.
