Safe Trips and Great Deals

Everybody is looking for the best deal these days. You hear that all the time, but when have you not. Mexico has always been on the tip of everyone's tongue when this expression comes up regarding winter vacations. Recently I have not heard Mexico mentioned as much. Is this because the vacation options have become more expensive?

The negative publicity that Mexico has received in regard to violence related to drug and people trafficking is warranted in some areas of the country. Taking safety precautions is something us climber know all about. We also know that letting fear rule us is a sure fire path to regret.

At EPICS and La Posada El Potrero Chico we have set up a system that will maximize you vacation time and dollars. We have had clients come from New York City to climb for the weekend. All you need is a little money, a plane ticket to Monterrey (MTY) and a passport. We take care of the transportation to and from the airport, your accommodations, your food (if you prefer),water, and your climbing partner/certified guide. What else could one need?

A Cultural Bridge

On this day we took everybody who works at La Posada out to the crag to see what they were made of. With team building as a major goal we accomplish a lot cultural exchange between the guides and the locals.
This is just one of the many bridges we have made between the climbers and the local community in Hidalgo. These folks had a blast, and amazingly enough most of them enjoyed fighting their way up 5.9's. The local guide book author Dane Bass came out to show his support and take pictures of the event.
Everybody learned a lot and had a great time!
