EWolfe Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Went there for our honeymoon 2 winters ago - the place rocks. 1. bring a helmet, there's lots of loose rock 2. bring a rope bag - the place is dusty 3. The saturday market rocks 4. the carneceria on the way to the park is the place to get meat (not at the stores) 5. Snot Girlz and Yankee Clipper are amazing multi's, but don't climb underthem if anyone is on them - loose rock!!! Have fun!! Quote

ClimbingGirl33 Posted August 19, 2003 Author Posted August 19, 2003 Usually what I hear is "Mamacita" and have learned that "no beso" works too! Then again, depends who I am talking too Quote
Peter_Puget Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 Not to be a wanker but before going I'd evaluate local medical facilities! LOL I sound like an old man! Quote
ClimbingGirl33 Posted September 8, 2003 Author Posted September 8, 2003 I'd rather focus on the AMAZING climbing I will be doing. B Quote
Norsky Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 I recall reading a few articles about that place in one of the mags. One of them was about some drama dealing with Kurt Smith and his campground there. Don't know anything new. Quote
texplorer Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 I have spent over a month down there a few years ago. If your heading down anytime around new years or christmas the place will be packed with literally hundreds of climbers. There are lots of cool climbs there but the most unique are the long moderate (easy .10) sport routes. The most popular as mentioned above are snott girlz, space boyz, and yankee clipper. There are also two twin spires that are fun. The mota wall has the largest number of high quality climbs in the .10 to .11 range but be careful since it is directly under the snott Girlz route which loose rocks come off of almost daily. I will most likely be headed there this winter also with the masses. It's pretty easy to figure things out once your there but your biggest challenge will be finding some place not crowded. Have fun and let me know if you have any specific questions. Quote
ClimbingGirl33 Posted September 8, 2003 Author Posted September 8, 2003 Looks like we'll be there during the prime time - but that means more people to climb with right? I am definitely packing my helmet. Maybe I will see you there - or even here before there. Sounds little Dr. Suess doesn't it? Quote
