Potrero Chico is a multi-pitch sport climbing area outside of Hildago, Mexico and for a week in early February Big Oil, Buckley, John W. and I are going there! Hopefully Mark and Jeff will also be able to go but they won't know until kind of last minute. Big Oil and I were originally planning on heading to Ouray, CO for a little ice climbing at the park but when Mark mentioned Potrero Chico I became just a little intrigued. After a few days of research I had pretty much decided we should scrap Ouray and head down to Mexico for a few cervezas and a little sport climbing.

Ice climbing season is off to a pretty good start so far, it's only the beginning of January and I've already been on three trips! Once I pull the pictures off my camera I'll get them up here so the whole world to check them out. The next trip is in a few weeks and it's Mountainfest so it should be a good one.

Later,
Darin

I sent a pair of climbing shoes out to Rock and Resole before I left for San Francisco and they arrived today, which is perfect since I'm going to the gym tonight. They only need to replace half the sole on each and the job looks pretty good, I'm sure I'll be flashing V0 in not time!

I've resolved the issues and have begun rebuilding the gallery.

Big Oil, Mike, and I are off the the Candian in about 6 weeks and seeing it's been a while since I posted anything I figure I'd share our objective. Click on the title to see the fun that awaits us!
