Fall and Winter Rock Climbing Destinations

Well, I hope your summer is going great and you have been getting ready for the upcoming rock climbing season, because it’s here. It begins in September with perfect temperatures in Eldorado Canyon here in Boulder, Colorado. During the months of September and October it is absolutely gorgeous around the Front Range. Come on out and get your send on, you're gonna LOVE it!

I’ll also be guiding trips in Red Rocks (outside of Vegas) and Indian
Creek (outside of Moab) during the months of October and November. After that it will start getting a little cooler around here, although we will still get those perfect climbing days in Eldo throughout the winter. Perfect for all the locals or anyone who can swing a few days to get away.

Also throughout the winter, I’ll be heading south of the boarder to Potrero Chico, Mexico. I’ll be taking my first trip of the season on November 7th. Join me for the time of your life. This is a great international climbing trip that is extremely reasonable. To get to Potrero Chico, you fly into Monterey Mexico and grab a taxi/shuttle to Potrero Chico Park, which is less than hour drive from the airport. Once you arrive we drop the bags and get acclimated to our new environment by sending a few pitches followed by a few cold cervezas.

The climbing is so accessible, you can climb on the same day you travel. Potrero offers long days of multi-pitch climbing, with some routes getting to a thousand feet or more. Or we could just crag and work on some single pitch climbing. Whatever you like, the choices are endless. Potrero is a great location even if only for a few days of climbing. This area couldn’t be any more convenient for rock climbing.
