A few weeks before the beginning of the RocTrip, new informations on transportation, campsite and program are available.
Looking at a high number of registred climbers (>1000), in order not to overcrowd the climbing sectors it will be wise to take advantage of the full day light (05H00-22H00).
During the event different food stands, drinks and a minimarket with basic products will be open every day from November 19 to 28. Don't forget to bring your own plates, mug and silverware.
Camping spots by the river will be allocated on first come first served basis, when this area will be full other sports can be allocated nearby (max 4km) with shuttles.

Here are the options from Monday the 19th to Wednesday the 28th of November:
Way in, departure time:
- Esquel bus station 7:00 am / 6:00 pm
- Esquel airport 7:30 am / 6:30 pm
- Arrival time in Piedra Parada 10:00 am / 9:00 pm
Way out, departure time:
- Piedra Parada 6:00 am / 10:00 am / 5:00 pm
- Arrival time Esquel airport 8:30 am / 12:30 am / 7:30 pm
- Arrival time Esquel bus station 9:00 am / 1:00 pm / 8:00 pm
Cost for a one way trip : 56 ARS

Friday November 23 we will be happy to welcome on stage Mederic Tabart, expert flamenco guitar player and excellent climber. Originating from south of France, Mederic has always shared his time between climbing and music. His passion for Flamenco has led him to training with the best players. Audio link:
Saturday November 24 from 21H00 to 23H00 there will be an open stage for climbing singers and musicians, with a possibility to do a few songs on plug-line check- play basis. Possibility to plug mikes and lines on the sound system, and use instruments available, (although better to bring your own). Registration for the open stage on arrival.
For the creation of the soundtrack of the Petzl movie we are seeking volunteer musicians for recordings (sounds, melodies, voices) with all kinds of traditional south american instruments or unusual instruments. Ex: Charango, Cajon, Flutes, Shakers, Quatro, Bandoneon, Bombo, Queina, Berimbau, Pandero, etc... To listen to the possibilities watch the RocTrip China movie and focus on the sound tracks. Auditions and recordings will be done onsite by Vladimir Cellier, director of the movie.
Contact: vladcellier@gmail.com
During onsite registration, volunteers wil be offered the possibility to be part of collectives or individual scenes by the directors of the film. Details will be posted at registrations.

Mon, 12/11/2012 - 19:02 — Christian (not verified)I drive from rawson Chubut, do you recomend go to Esquel first and then to Gualjaina, or take the detour route number 12 directly to Gualjaina?

Tue, 13/11/2012 - 09:53 — community_managerlast year the dirt road N12 that came thru Paso del Sapo straight to Gualjaina was OK.

Transportation and Climbing partners
Mon, 12/11/2012 - 21:44 — Shannon (not verified)Also, I will be traveling alone. I am bringing rope, draws, etc. so that I may climb, but will be in search of climbing partners. Is there any way to meet who is traveling to the site prior to my arrival to arrange any type of climbing partner set up in advance?
Thank you!

Thu, 15/11/2012 - 19:41 — Ernesto (not verified)I'm from Argentina, live here and climb here and never needed an insurance to do it, maybe this event is different.
So, my question is, what does implies for those that can't or don't have a insurance?, they'll be not able to asist?, they'll be able to asist but not to climb?.
Thanks for all.
