Free Self Rescue Course



This year EPICS offered a 3 day self rescue course to qualified applicants. 13 people showed up including 4 locals from Hidalgo. The idea was to train climbers who could no afford expensive professional instruction. The great thing that happened is we ended up training locals who can be called upon to preform rescues in the event of an emergency. Everybody learned a lot and was very appreciative. We will be offering at least one a month next season. Please contact the school (guides@elpotrerochico.com.mx) for info about dates.

Another Great seaon in El Potrero Chico


As the director here at EPICS I was out of touch with many of our clients this year. I spent the season alpine climbing and festering in a tent in Southern Patagonia. However I did have a couple clients whom I climbed with and like a lot. We climbed some great stuff like Time Wave Zero in 5 hours, Space Boys, Treasures of the Sierra Madre, Estrellita, and the Spires. We are looking forward to a great season next year. We are offering a 10% discount for booking 4 months or more in advance. Mike, David, Peter... Thanks for a great March!
