El Portero Chico in early April?
|
Will it be too hot/rainy? My wife is coming with me, I will only be climbing for a few days, then heading for the coast. She does not climb, is there enough things around Hidalgo to keep her interested while I am out climb? Is it relatively safe for a foreign female to be alone during the day in this area? |

April is still good for climbing here. It will be hotter for sure than it is now but there is plenty of shade to climb in. As far as non-climbing entertainment, it really depends on what she would find entertaining. There's tons of city-ish things to do in Monterrey. It's a very artsy city. There's also tons of hiking and exploring to do right here in Hidalgo. The trails are definitely not as developed as other places. Very fun though. I think she could stay busy if it was just for a few days. |

Dont think its rainy then. We were there in early april and the first few days were mid 50s in the early morn and high 70s for the highs, gorgeous, then it got insanely hot a few days later. Couldnt climb any exposed walls after late morning, but the virgin canyon stayed cool, dry and breezy all day, and there's lots to climb in there and in other shady areas (since its the desert, any shade is pretty cool, and usually nicely breezy - just bring lots of water). |
