If rock climbing would have been developed much earlier in Mexico, as in
\nEurope, surely there would be so many routes that one would have to dedicate
\nover a lifetime to climb them all. Mexico is rock quality rich, either for
\nsport, traditional or big wall climbing, even having monoliths almost a
\nthousand meters high.<\/p>\n
The mexican climber is the one who, without question, has provided the most to
\nthe rock climbing development in Mexico since the past century, but it`s worth
\nto say that foreign climbers also have helped all this great projects (mostly
\nfrom United States), developing very important zones as Potrero Chico or El
\nSalto, near Monterrey, in the Nuevo Le\u00f3n state.<\/p>\n
Talking about sport climbing and bouldering, today there are quite a lot of
\ndeveloped zones through all the country (near 300!); however, mexican climbers
\nthat dedicate their effort in creating new routes are reduced to only a few
\nnumbered group.<\/p>\n
And it isn`t that big rock walls are missing: La Huasteca, Potrero Chico, the
\nbig walls in Chihuahua as El Gigante or the wall in Basaseachic waterfall, the
\nSierra de Durango or El Gran Trono Blanco in Baja California Norte already
\noffer several journeys to know a bit of the great mexican walls. Also, it`s
\nsurprising the big amount of virgin spots that exist through all the country,
\nstill waiting for a first climb.<\/p>\n
Product of dispersion and, many times, the lack of knowledge and
\ncommunication, climbing in Mexico advances at a lower rate than it really
\ncould. The project of the Rock Climbing in Mexico guide, by As de Gu\u00eda, has
\nthe objective to deliver that knowledge to everyone that seeks to use it for
\ngood reasons, either it is just to enjoy a great climb or to collaborate with
\nthe development of new routes that will give shape to the future of climbing
\nin the mexican territory.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
