Jordan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm trying to put together my Feb climbing trip Schedule. Going to Pico De Orizaba first, and it looks like I'm going to solo that which is fine, but the following week (thinking 3rd or 4th week in Feb) I'd like to get some amazing rock climbing in, which I DO need a partner for but having a hard time finding. Sound like fun to anyone? Lots of sunshine and great rock in FEB! J-Tree would have a place to stay in Palm Desert. Would be dirt baggin it if I decide on El Potrero. Either way... cant beat it!

Lucky Larry Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) El Potrero was great like 4-5 years ago; not sure how it is anymore with all the drug wars, probably mostly in Monterey--not sure--might check out. Say hi to Magic Ed as he put up a lot there and invested big$. Take 2nd hand small shoes mostly (I'm guessing 5-6 or smaller, US) to donate to Ed if you can; He teaches local kids to climb. I drank the water there w/out problems as the supply is spring fed-not sure bout current situation. Enjoy. By the way, I was there in Feb too; very hot in the sun. Also, the 420 there really sucks, don't even bother if u r into that sort of thing, plus it just made me paranoid.

Jordan Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks for the advice. If all else fails, I'm sure I can scrounge up a partner at the camp grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Larry Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) milton ; Milton works at one of the campgrounds in El Potrero, is bilingual, and said it is ok to e-mail him--super friendly nice guy, even took me to meet his family, say hi to him for me. Milton on the left. Edited December 12, 2010 by Lucky Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
