Chris was cycling from Tennessee to southern Mexico and lamenting the fact that he didn't have any gear to try some EPC climbing. (He used to climb many years ago in the dacks). We scrounged some gear and took him out climbing. He was thrilled.

gblauer on an uncharacteristically cold day in Potrero. Getting ready to start up Ramsey's, a great, new 3 pitch 5.9+.

Mitch just starting up the slabby and thin Marklar.

Mitch and the local Hidalgo kids hamming it up for the camera. We were taking the kids out to climb on the Mota wall.

Chillo (Don't know how to spell his name) is only 6 years old. This was his very first time climbing. He nearly made it to the top of P1, Cactus Pile. He was a natural!

We helped Ed take some local climbers out to climb on the Mota Wall. Here is a father and son enjoying Cactus Pile and I Believe I can Fly.

Molly on her first every outdoor climb. She loved Betty and went on to second High E!

Gotta be the best 5.3 in the world!

Gblauer preparing to walk off Diedre. You have two choices: Through a beautiful forest or down the slabs. We opted for the forest.
