CubaClimbing.com just added to its Articles page a recent profile of Aníbal Fernández published in Gripped, the Canadian climbing magazine. “First Sinner in Paradise” tells the story of Cuba’s first climber and his commitment and sacrafice to climb in an authoritarian country. It ends with Aníbal’s poignant words on his exile: “I suffer everyday for ‘having’ to live away from my island and my people, from that seductive chaos that is life in Cuba. Every day there isn’t a moment when I would not leave it all and return to La Habana…. I am getting used to carrying the island around with me.”
“First Sinner in Paradise” brings the total number on the Articles page to 35 articles. EVERY article on climbing in Cuba, 30 in all, is at Articles. And the best on other outdoor rec and on conservation are there as well. 17 articles are in English, seven in Spanish, and others in French, Portuguese, German, and even Icelandic.
