El Potrero Chico offers great terrain for practicing fair weather big wall climbing in the winter time. The rock on routes such as "Sendero del Diablo" is strong, cracked, pocketed, and protected by bolts every 12-15 ft. This offers ample opportunities to practice ascending ropes, placing clean aid gear, hooking, and switching from aid to free climbing all while being protected by bolts. This is a great course for anyone looking to climb their first big wall in Yosemite when spring rolls around. Forget paying expensive guides in the States or Europe. Come take a cheap vacation to Mexico this winter and learn everything you need to know about hauling, jugging, lower outs, cleaning, and much more. This can also be taken as the first two days of a guided big wall package. In this package we will spend the following two climbing days on the wall as we climb and haul ourselves and gear up a 1500 ft. face. |
