Canon Tajo, Mexico, 4/18-20/2008

We'd been planning to go to Vegas this weekend to climb at red rocks, but we decided to take Rudy up on his offer of a free ride to Mexico. Jenny came too! The three of us met up with Scott and Rudy at about 6am on Friday and got to the campsite around 12pm. We were tempted to check out the climbing but decided on hiking out to the Pan Am wall with Scott and Rudy instead. They were planning to spend most of the weekend aid climbing this 1,700' wall. About 4 hours and 5-6 blisters later, we were back at the car and getting out our climbing gear. We did a couple easy slab climbs and did the same the next two days, with a lot of rock scrambling and one cool crack climb mixed in. Overall, it was a pretty cool place, and we were psyched to check it out, but not sure we'll make the trip back. It is a pain to cross the border, fairly expensive (between gas + insurance) and the crag is mostly slab and lacks a guidebook. There are more pictures on Ken's picasa album.
