About this experience
Coringa is on the south face of Sugarloaf, a 12-minute walk from Praça General Tibúrcio. It's about 110 metres in three or four third-grade pitches, alternating friction slabs with short vertical moves. The climb takes around 2.5 hours and can continue up the Costão to the summit, with the cable car down to Morro da Urca and a trail to Pista Cláudio Coutinho.
