Pedra Riscada, Place of Happiness.
By Edemilson Padilha, Brazil
In July on Pedra Riscada, near São José do Divino in the state of Minas Gerais, Horacio Gratton (Argentina), Stefan Glowacz, Holger Heuber, and Klaus Fengler (Germany), and I opened Place of Happiness (850m, 5.12d). It is a magic line in an amazing place.
