At the mouth of the canyon

Flavor of Mexico. The locals are real friendly.

The walk into the canyon in the morning

Picture taken from La Posada Camping-Lodging of Potrero Chico

Looking across from Estrellita. The Spires, Jungle Wall, Scrutinizer Wall, Virgin wall, and a swimming pool...

After a hard day of climbing there is nothing better than a shitload of beer and battling over the finger board at La Posada (New Year's Eve, 2004).

New Year's Eve 2007 at Homeros

La Posada, one of the places to stay in the Potrero. El Toro is the peak in the background with "El Sendero Luminoso" almost visible.

Resole your shoes, eat some pizza and grab a big gulp of margarita ..all at the base of the crag.

My morning view from my hammock with the La Posada kitchen in the foreground. October 2016.

Such a great name, and I found the Plaque to be ironic! If there were more sport climbing areas like this there might be more Trad dads hanging up their racks!

This local spot on Dr. Mier road just north of the Plaza Municipal has some amazing tacos de barbacoa and cabrito (baby goat) stew. The crew working there called the place Comidas de Mireya y Chano, but it technically has no name or signage outside. #supportlocal #babygoats

Potrero walls and evening light

Lucita at Posada. No muedes!

A breath taking entrance into El Portrero

This place is surreal!<br>
If you look closely, in the upper right, you can see my buddy Dunk highlining the spires!

Crescent Moon follows the right skyline over the giant hole. The tyrolean traverse takes you back onto the main rock. Ten minute approach from the road.

Up on another fun EPC route.
