Day 6(ish): On the rest day after Itza, we decided to check out the local climbing gym. Danni, our guide for Itza, was a route setter there.This was the coolest climbing gym I've been to for a few reasons: 1) it was partially outside! 2) they had 25m walls, which is taller than anything you'll find in an American gym. You needed a full 70m rope to climb them. 3) they had a TREE growing through one of the walls.I show some videos of me climbing one of the 25m walls(and hanging a bunch, I'm out of climbing shape), and of our guide/friend danni absolutely CRUSHING it on a huge overhang/horizonal wall. It was a privilege to belay him.Also added in some other random photos: 1 of the dogs that followed us up La Malinche, and one of me drinking Pulque, a traditional fermented Mexican drink made from the heart of agave. And one of me trying to climb the roof of a house we found at the top of one of our hikes lol
