5.11b Gringo Disco

Long and sustained. Don't confuse the anchors for "Mr. P. Mosh" as part of the climb -- though they can be very useful for rappel to get down with a single rope. Can safely be descended in one pitch using an 80m rope.

FA: Kurt Smith & Ned Harris

First pitch is 5.10 if you stay out of the corner and on the face to the right.

Can be combined in one pitch with 18 draws.

Sport 61m, 2, 10
5.9 X Monster Truck

Looking up into the Potrero from the camping area, there is an obvious steep ridge line up the right side of the Potrero -- that's Monster Truck, the whole ride line.

Do the first two pitches of "Quick Draw McGraw", then continue up the ridge following the path of least resistance when the ridge looks harder than 5.9.

Lots and lots and lots of pitches, with generous chunks of 3rd class, too.

Trad 1800m
5.10c Bazookaed in Monterrey

Climb the large corner right of "Quick Draw McGraw".
