El Potrero Chico

Concept

Low budget formula trips are developed with the idea that each participant has the necessary knowledge to climb in the indicated style of climbing. Attitude Montagne offers you less known destinations requiring more complex organizational logistics or great classics to visit at least once! Like the climbing club, these stays ensure you have climbing partners! The guide will offer a flexible schedule that changes during your trip. On the other hand, you will have the choice of climbing where you want or taking rest days according to your needs!

The guide will remain at your disposal to guide you in the choice of routes. You can also, as an option ($), plan a day with the guide so that he accompanies you in a particular sector to install your ropes, assist you, offer you mentoring to increase your level of climbing. You prefer a multi-pitch guiding day, it’s possible! On-site training to continue evolving in the world of climbing, another option!

El Potrero Chico

When climbing is no longer a possibility in Canada, it’s time to take off for Mexico. A real sport climbing paradise, Potrero Chico also has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We push our climbs during the day while achieving superb multi-pitch climb and back on the ground it is the margarita that awaits us before even leaving the canyon!

Despite the joy that is found there, itineraries should not be taken lightly, going on a multi-pitch requires good experience and ease in order to ensure that your day remains an adventure and not a misadventure. Even if the routes are equipped with bolts, keep in mind that they are sometimes far away, sometimes old, there are cactus, rocks that drop out and rappel that are sometimes complex, it is important to stay alert.

Rating and climbing style

Quotes are in YDS, so the system we use in North America.

There are hundreds of one-pitch routes, but what has made this site famous are these fully equipped multi-pitch routes. There are several routes that are between 8 and 14 pitches and even up to 22 pitches. However, despite being equipped, they are considered to be adventure terrain, the bolts can be far away, sometimes questionable and the descents are sometimes complex.

There are a few routes between 5.7 and 5.9 in sport but the choice really starts from 5.10. Climbers from 5.11 to 5.13 will be the most pampered.

If you are currently a top rope rock climber or a lead climber in a climbing center, this trip is also for you since you will have the chance to take your lead rock climbing course there ($).

Logistic

Lodging

You can choose between staying in tent or in room (or sometimes a maisonette with rooms, depending on availability). The rooms are offered in double occupancy (double bed or two twin beds). The common areas will be shared with all the climbers of the complex. For camping, you will need to use your own equipment (tent, mattress, sleeping bag, etc.). You will have access to a kitchen area, the swimming pool as well as shared bathrooms and showers.

Transport

We will travel to and from the Monterrey airport by private transportation. Later in the El Potrero Chico area, we will walk, because everything is nearby.

You are responsible for your transportation to Monterrey, Mexico (be sure to specify Mexico when booking!).

Food

Shopping will be done at the village market for the collective meals. Some meals can be taken in the restaurant.

Climbing equipment

Since this is a trip for autonomous climbers, you must bring your own equipment (harness, rope, carabiners, etc.). It is also possible to equip yourself on our online climbing shop!
