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?

Scared of heights?


Dominic found out about us in Lonley Planet Mexico. He is a med student studying dive medicine. Under his calm English exterior he is deathly afraid of heights; at least he was. Dom went from being afraid at 10M to traveling 150M up a cliff face. Dominic attributed his success to the helpful teaching techniques employed by El Potrero International Climbing School guide Peter Fasold. Climb Mexico in the winter Spring and Fall for the best first time climbing experience.

The Devil's Path


Here is a more advanced route that we love to take people up here in El Potrero. It is five pitches, four of which are 5.11. This is for the gym/sport climber that wants to make the jump into multi-pitch climbing. Here Nathan Pauli gets after it with guide Beckett Honicker. Nate was an inch away from on sighting the 5.11c crux pitch.
