Description

This section is outside the of the main El Potrero Chico canyon. This sector is on the north eastern facing wall of the mountain.

Access issues

The mine is now closed so be respectful when crossing the property. You can no longer drive your car up to the top part of the trail.

Approach

Exit from the backside of the La Posada Campground through the gate going towards the closed mining area. Follow the rock cairns north towards the town. When you hit the gravel road follow that all the way to the top of the mining area. When the road comes to an end start to follow the trail marked by cairns. The approach time up to the first crag Blubber Wall can take up to 1 hr 30 minutes. Fitness Cave is another 10 minutes up the gully.

Ethic inherited from Nuevo León

Please don´t litter, some crags like LaHuasteca are a little runout, but thats how they were set, please avoid adding bolts. Rebolting efforts are much apreciated, just send a heads up to the local climbing comunity for safety reasons.
