ClimbingGirl33 Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Most of the people I am meeting down there (from the East Coast) are arriving 12/26 or 12/27. I can go down on the 24th and stay through 1/4. Still looking at flights and all. Ever been? Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted October 7, 2003 Author Posted October 7, 2003 I'd rather helo into the Coast Range and ski around than go to Portero Chico. Thanks for the offer. Quote
dkemp Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 It was beautiful when I was there. We went in from the west - flew to Veracruz, then took busses to Coscomatepec. The busses were nice and ran exactly right on time. "Cosco" is a nice town. You cannot drive to Piedra Grande from there however. We hired a truck to take us to 10k, then hiked up to 14 from there. As I'm sure you know, most climbers come from the west - dont remember that towns name - and drive right to 14k. You might consider - this is my plan when I go back - approaching from the west, climb the mountain, then exit east to Cosco\Veracruz. PM me if you are interested and I'll get you more information. I liked Coscomatepec so much I'd definitely go back there. However be warned - they dont speak english and there are no cash machines. Before we left I took a spanish class and everyone told me 'oh, everyone there speaks english'. No they dont. Not in Cosco and not even in Veracruz. My limited Spanish turned out to be crucial. I understand that approaching from the west is totally different. Anyway, I ramble. Have fun. Dox Quote
