Epic Bigwall Sport Climbing, Epic Margaritas

Tucked away in the Sierra del Fraile conservation area of Mexico sits one of the most sought after climbing destinations on this side of the Atlantic, El Potrero Chico (EPC).

The massive limestone cliffs overlook the small town of Hidalgo and are home to some of the best multi-pitch sport climbing in the world. All you need is a rack of quickdraws and an adventurous spirit to go and conquer these massive monoliths.

EPC is THE winter getaway for multi-pitch climbing in North America. Come join us and log a ton of pitches on classic climbs or work on your skills to get up (and down!) these walls efficiently on your own.

I grew up mostly in the North Eastern US but began traveling and climbing after high school and never looked back. I’ve been lucky to climb in over 10 countries and have done many first ascents on 3 continents. Now I mostly travel in my janky van in the Great American West with occasional trips abroad. I’m surprised to say I’ve been guiding for nearly a decade on rock, ice, mountains, and skis but now mostly focus on delivering highly personalized and precise rock climbing instruction.

It would be fun to list more accomplishments but I truly don’t think that’s what climbing is about. My goal is to be a damn good teacher of the skills people need to prepare for and take on some of the biggest challenges of their lives; not so they can brag about it on Instagram or in a website About page :), but so they learn about themselves, the people around them, and the world we live in.

I’m an AMGA Certified Rock Guide and have some expensive other bits of paper too. I pride myself in thinking hard about the skills I teach and how best to present them to you in a way that’s clear, concise, actionable, and appropriate for your skill level. Above all else I care. I care about you as a human being and hope we can get outside and learn from each other soon!
