  1. Yep the hut sucks, bring a tent. A cheaper option you can get a taxi from town to Hidago for I think, I payed 90 pesos. From there it is a 4 or so mile walk on a road. I also stayed at a small hotel in town that was basic but nice. I think it is one block down the main road from the Pemex station on the left (130 pesos. The normal route was in great shape as of the 15th. There was no crevasse danger to speak of. Oh also no ATM in town. Also the food was horrible at the white house where all the gringos are known to eat. Have fun!

  2. did you pass a huge, thin flake at some point, jutting upwards?

     

    Don't think so. As Moira said are intentions were to climb a route Briody and I did awhile back and well this one ended up being right of it. We were pretty much right on the edge of the transion between the granite and shale or whatever that stone is. Who knows? FA or not as said above many people have done routes up there. Good times!

  3. There are only a couple trad routes there. A couple Dane Bass put up on ridge lines freaky. Most of them are really long and have only seen maybe a secound acsent. Good luck and yes helmet, 70meter rope would be nice not nessary. I have even brought twins as there are some long raps. Oh stay at Rancho Cerro Gordo great place, Mel the owner a great host. ranchopotrerochico.com

  4. Matt I was there in November. Many new routes put up everyday. I am in Korea at the moment but I do have the newest guide book that was out in Nov. but I know there is a newer one. I will be home in about a week so can send you some beta. The guide book you buy in the US is crap (jeff jackson one).
