Here are some great pictures from my trip to El Potrero Chico located in northern Mexico. El Potrero is one of the greatest winter climbing destinations in the whole world. Here you will find endless sport climbing on beautiful limestone, great food, and super nice people. Despite the news broadcasts that are discouraging folks from traveling in this area, I found it very mellow and safe. The locals were kind and helpful and there was no sign of drug wars, cartels, or violence of any kind. I would highly recommend this area for anyone who loves climbing and comfort. Enjoy the photos!
