Program Notes

The ride up Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is full of twists and turns, and offers tantalizing peeks of beautiful scenery behind and through foliage, before reaching the peak where the famous Cristo Redentor statue and even more breathtaking unobstructed vistas await. Climb is inspired by the journey, not the destination.
