Roraima Tepui from Base Camp

Roraima Tepui from Base Camp

Peter and Jackie Main
Roraima is one of the most recommended climbs in South America, and most people allow eight days for the trip. However, this allows only one day on the top of the tepui, which isn't enough time to properly explore all the nooks and crannies. Unfortunately, backpackers are limited by what they can carry.

Seen from base camp, the 400 m quartzite cliff known as The Wall is a daunting sight.
