A low-rise van rolls out of Itatim before dawn and the humid air lightens as you approach the Paredão do Morro da Toca. The rock looms 180 meters high, a paler wall against the thicker green of the surrounding serras. After a ten-minute flat walk to the base, a concise safety briefing sets the rhythm: ropes checked, knots tied, and the guide marking the line you’ll follow.
