Mexico Climbing School at La Posada



Mexico climbing School.
Come climbing anywhere in Mexico with El Potrero International Climbing School. Enjoy winter time in a whole new way.

El Potrero Chico Climbing School; Colorado


Colorado offers a great variety of climbing from granite to sandstone and of course our favorite... limestone. Here is Matt Peer Climbing with El Potrero Chico International School outside of Mexico. This crag out side of Colorado Springs offers great 5.4-5.10 terrain to hone slab and crack climbing techniques.

Climbing Mexico; Candel Cave



La Cueva de las Candelas is a tourist attraction. They would never let you bolt this thing in the States. Good thing it isn't in the States. The routes are hard and well protected. Some are steep some are wicked steep and some are horizontal along the stalactite covered ceiling. The camping is in a cow pasture an hour and some north of San Luis Potosi. The cave is right next door to the field. There are some easier zones near by and also some crazy volcanic bouldering. This is a great stop on the way down to Mexico city because it is located only 20 minutes off the high way to San Luis Potosi.

Utah for the spring



We are not just a bunch of sport climber down in El Potrero Chico. Its a great place to practice in the winter, but our true love is traditional climbing. We go all over as guides and for pleasure. There are great places all over the world for climbing, but one of my favorites is Indian Creek In South Eastern Utah. The trad mecca is an hour south of Moab Utah and Offers great trad routes from 5.9 to 5.13. It was here this summer that I sent a 5.13a on traditional gear as well as a slew of 5.12s a couple onsight.
The camping is primitive car camping. That means it is not very primitive, but compared to La Posada it is. We had a great time detaching from the world at large while spending a week at a time out in the serene Utah dessert.
We can go anywhere and do anything here at El Potrero International Climbing School. All you have to do is ask.
