Photos by David Balcells / canpirra.com - During the last five years I have enjoyed several climbing trips surrounded by good friends and with the camera always in hand. This gallery gathers the best pictures taken during these trips. The photos try to capture not only the bouldering action, but also the local culture and landscape in places like: Albarracin, Spain; Fontainebleau, France; Sukothai, Thailand; Bishop, California; Hampi, India and more.
