El Potrero Chico Climbing Guidebook

Donation protected
Hey Everyone, my name is Frank Madden and I'm getting this GoFundMe started in order to raise the money needed to get my new rock climbing guidebook printed for El Potrero Chico. As soon as the goal is met, the printing process will begin.

This project was started three years ago, after a quick visit to the area while passing through Mexico for the first time. I knew there was something special about El Potrero Chico.  I arrived at the campground just below the towering walls of EPC with nothing but a small paper book to serve as my guide. I was astounded that this little pamphlet would be all the info I needed for climbing here. It wasn't. Not by a longshot. This place is a world class climbing destination, and deserves a better guidebook to showcase the incredible climbing here. I started writing this guidebook because most of the information available was out of date, wrong or just confusing. And worst of all, NO PHOTOS! I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out was I was climbing and it wasn't long before I noticed most people visiting here were having the same issue.



So here I am three years later finsihing this guidebook for all the climbers that continue to pour into Potrero Chico looking to explore the big walls that inspired me. Although my knowledge of this place is still young, I've climbed (and loved) well over half the routes here.

This new guidebook provides excellent descriptions, precise topos, and area information (places to stay, eat and relax). My goal here was simple: provide climbers the necessary information.  Once printed the book will be available here in EPC and climbing gyms in Monterry, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The book will also be available for purchase online at www.epcclimbing.com.

You can also help in another way by purchasing the digital version of the guidebook via Rakkup.com for your Iphone and Android phones. The purchase of this guidebook in the app form helps to get the book printed as well.
