Potreo Chico in February!

Hey Yall,

Headed down to Potreo Chico for my first time! I will be leaving Feb. 11 and returning the 22nd and will be camping at La Pagoda.

I am aiming to meet some new faces, become solid on multipitch routes, build my photography portfolio, and obviously just have a great time.

Reaching out for route recommendations, important bits of info for a potreo newbie, partners, resources, stories or really anything realated to this area. I am really interested in the geology and geologic history of the area, if anyone would like to share some of their knowledge/reading materials.

Thanks and maybe see you in Hidalgo.

Cheers,

Mathias

Route recommendations will really depend on what level you're climbing at.

Lead 5.11ab follow 5.11cd. Looking to get on a few 5.12s to try out.

Enticing. If I get home before you're scheduled to leave, I may be willing.

Where will you set off from?

Starting the drive today. Should be there Wednesday. Plan on 2+ weeks there.

My first time down there too. I'll be around from Feb 17 to 21 and looking for a partner!

Best view in the park is on top of Yankee Clipper (better than time wave zero). You have to climb the 12a pitch. Most of the rest of the climb is sort of boring though.

Favorite climbs were probably space boys, pitch black, snott girls. Time wave zero was fun. Sendero diablo is supposed to be awesome, but I couldn't find a partner for it
