Our time in Venezuela was characterized by long days toiling on our new route. Jumaring fixed lines, climbing a few pitches of mind boggling overhanging sand stone consumed us. We found only a few moments to explore other aspects of our Venezuelan base camp. But when we did, this is what we found. Fine woven tools, practical for the Pemon natives everyday life, and easily created from the grasses of the Gran Sabana.
