"Four young men, lost in the middle of the Amazon jungle of Venezuela, on a mission to free climb the 500m overhanging face of Amuri Tepui. Wild animals, biting insects, backbreaking approach, crazy nights on a portaledge, musical concerts to the sound of the waterfall, sweaty climbing, precarious falls..." This is the intro to the video trailer of Nicolas Favresse, Sean Villanueva, Stephane Hanssens and Jean-Louis Wertz establishing Maria Rosa (7b, 500m) and Apichavai (8a+, 500m) up the remote Amuri Tepui in Venezuela last March.
