We woke up to a thickening layer of low, white clouds. After a bowl of Zucaritas con Tigre Toni (frosted flakes) and some instant coffee, we packed up and headed into the canyon, unsure what we’d find. The clouds lifted, and we climbed 2 separate 2 pitch routes up freestanding limestone spires(1,2).
We simul-rappelled, then hiked out down a dusty road, passing many familiar, friendly faces. The golden sun blanketed our backs and all was right.
Everything is going well in El Potrero Chico. We have been enjoying life and chillin’ at a brake neck pace (that makes sense, right?). You can click the photo above (or here) for some recent pictures from the trip. 
In addition to climbing, I’ve made time to read while here, with my favorite La Posada library book being Climb or Die by Edward Myers. This classic tells the riveting tale of The Darcy’s trip through Colorado gone awry. The children are force to improvise climbing equipment and climb Mount Remington, with the question always looming “Shall we climb, or shall we DIE!!!!???????” Must read.

Wow, great photos, Babe! You two look so happy it’s radiating all the way to Boulder. I can almost feel the Mexican sun shining on me. I can’t wait to hear more stories of you and Andrew’s adventures!
Once again I’m floored by your professional photographs and your poetic writing. Wishing I was there. It hasn’t stopped snowing here in Boulder since Thursday and looks won’t be letting up till Tuesday. A little Mexican vacaciones would be great right about now.
Wish I was in Mexico about now, too. I loved the video from the summit! Photos, too.
Wow! Sweet photo to open this post. And that video made me a little dizzy – looks amazing!
Livin the dream…. I’m so jealous!!!
I think the summit video is pretty cool … especially the big grin at the end. I think “Climb or Die” sounds like fine literature, perhaps author Edward Meyers is the Charles Dickens of our day.
