Lori enjoying her climbing at Bonticou. Great lines abound.

gblauer finding her way up a line at Bonticou. It looked easy so we decided to go for it. Fun climb, well protected, but quite a bit of suspect rock (loose, detached etc)

Jaime leading Ken's Crack. His first 5.7 trad lead. He did a great job sewing it up.

Mitchal leading a single pitch climb apparently bolted by some gunkies. It's not a destination climb, but it's on the way down from a climb called Skytop Buttress, a new, great, "must do" when in the Potrero

Mitchal leading P1 of Bogus Journey. Nothing bogus about the pain in his wrist! He has not recovered from his wrist surgery and climbing is difficult and painful.

gblauer enjoying the farmer's market in Hidalgo. It's the first time I have seen them selling baby chicks...so cute!

After climbing the stairs and hiking the scree slope we found ourselves at the base of skytop buttress. It's a new 3 pitch climb behind the pools far right of the Wonder Wall.

This is a climb on the TNT wall, way above the Mini Super wall. It's un-named, two pitch 10.

gblauer at the top of the fixed line, heading to the slabby descent off the TNT wall. I scooted on my butt, paid for it, Mitch had to pick out a lot of cactus needles!

The climb starts at the base on the far right, climbs up and over the arch, down into the saddle back up the face, raps into the saddle again and two more pitches to the summit.

It's fun to climb Crescent Moon Buttress in a group. We did it with 4 parties of two. Here we are getting our gear together for the 25 minute approach

Not very exciting...desert all around. Very dry and dusty. You are up pretty high from where you park.

Sandra climbing up to the crux on P1. Nice face climbing, the rock had a ton of friction. Hands/feet stick to everything.

Cacti, needles, pointy things everywhere you walk. I sat on one of these by accident (the descent is pretty harsh), I have many puncture wounds!

Ed running up P4, a tricky 10 that takes you on the sharpest rock you have ever climbed.

Josee just about finishing P7. You have to rap into the start of P7.

you can free solo from the anchors on the last pitch to the summit register or you can set up a hand line from the bolts on the ridge.

"Gee, I have to remember how this works..."

Mitchal doing the tyrolean traverse to get to the raps to get off of Crescent Moon Buttress.

After we did Space Boyz, I had some energy to run Selam. Personally, I think Selam is the best moderate 10 in the park.

Mitch getting ready to jump on the tyrolean traverse. It's not required to get off the climb, but, it sure is fun!

Luc finishing Selam, a very long 10 in the Virgin Canyon. Two ropes requried to get off, or rap to Flying Scorpian anchors.

gblauer at the start of Selam. I think this is one of the nicest moderate 10's in the Virgin Canyon. At 140 feet, the climb just keeps on giving.

Kelly and Marcos on Milk Cow Blues. Kelly is working her way to the crux (near hueco)

gblauer working her way up Bogus Journey. A nice, easy climb up on the TNT call.
