Armando Menocal
----------------------------
Outside magazine gave this thumbnail of Armando Menocal: “a world-class Wyoming climber who’s been helping the Cuban rock-climbing community get off the ground.” In the 1990s, Armando travelled to Cuba in search of his family roots, but "discovered" Viñales instead. Amazed at the potential, he made dozens of return trips to climb its rock walls, always bringing gear for the Cubans, eventually publishing a guidebook, Cuba Climbing (quickdrawpublications.com 2009) and creating a website, cubaclimbing.com, to show the world all that Cuba has to offer. Today Armando has a Cuban fiance, a Cuban daughter-in-law, and two Cuban grandchildren. Thus, he is attached to Cuba by more than just a rope. He lives in Wilson, Wyoming, and hopes to return to Viñales.
