Eastern facing, shaded in the afternoon. Beautiful views of Fogo from the top.

Start is on the left pillar of Ribeira Wall. Great warmup route with a view of the dry riverbed and the volcano from the top. About half way up, follow the bolts around to the anchors on the right, rather than going straight up. Bolted, anchors at the top. Picture.

'I did see a few bolted routes in some of the more solid basalt on the path from Ponta do Sol to Cruzinha in Santo Antao. This path, which is the only direct route between these two towns, is high on a cliff above the sea and I doubt that the bolts would be all that trustworthy.'

A nice little summit with scramble approaches.

Little cairns at the summit and hut circles to the south.

Lots of overlaps and the odd rock step.

Some loose rock and strange channels on the western flank of Monte Leste.
