Comments: caughtinside is right about the 70m rope--my guidebook warns you to bring 2 ropes or a 70--but is one of a tiny, tiny minority of Cali granite climbers who just doesn't "get" limestone. Many have told me that the last pitch was their favorite!!

Comments: Don't pay attention to caughtinside. If you are expecting nothing harder than 5.9 you will be sandbagged. Nobody in his right mind will tell you that the 10th pitch is anything like the 7th, or the 3rd, or the 6th.

Comments: Did the route, had a blast, the final 5.7 pitch is fantastic climbing, 5.7,5.9 whatever, it's a stellar pitch. Moutaineering with sport bolts, fun fun fun. We rapped the route, you can learn a lot by doing this, don't be lame and short change your self on this valuable experience.

Comments: Kinda liked this route not as bad as i thought it would be from the guide book. I've clipped far worse bolts and much more runout stuff. Give it a try.

Comments: How is the drive down there once you cross into Mexico? Have never driven through Mexico, and it sounds like Juarez is NASTY right now. Just gathering info for a New Year's plans, Thank y'all!

Comments: I remember enormous walls like Gigante in Barrancas del Cobre, the approach and getting out with big wall gear would be a GIGANTE undertaking, and the sun bakes there. Did you guys pack gear in on donkeys? Kudos to you guys for hitting that wall.

Comments: Its morning and its not fake. We on our way to some epic climbing! I think this day, my partner and I climbed Snott Girlz which is a 7 pitch climb. That small jut or tower over the electrical pole is the top of Snott Girlz.

Comments: Would like to make a trip down 11/14 - 11/22, and my partner bailed last second. Anyone bringing odd numbers down who would like to share a ride from Colorado/New Mexico? Comfortable leading to mid 5.11 range.

Comments: Will be in PC in Nov., wondering what the beta is for most longer routes. Do you rap the route to get off? Other parties? Curiuos... thanks! Also planning on just camping in the park for 12 nights, is this realistic, are there enough "quality" spots.
Gracias,
Richard

Comments: Thanks for the suggestions on donations. I will definitely bring down a couple of my old ropes to give to the fixed rope cause.
I'll be going down to Potrero for the first time at the end of October and could use some advice from someone who's driven down there before. Such as: Drive time from Denver? Should I buy the Mexican car insurance? Or any other suggestions/tips for a hassle free and safe border crossing.
Also-I have a partner for the first 2 weeks of the trip but will be looking for s... more >>
