About this experience
At 1,692 metres, Dedo de Deus is the symbol of Serra dos Órgãos National Park and features on the Rio state coat of arms. Its first ascent, in 1912, is seen as the start of Brazilian mountaineering. We climb the Teixeira route, the original line, or the East Face, with a steep approach, steel cable sections and three abseils on the way down.
