2010 : Mexico (El Chonta-Jilo)

From limestone stalagtites to ryolite crimps

For this first Latin American experience, the Petzl RocTrip presents the opportunity to discover two spots. First, the climbers arrive at a spot close to Taxco. Well hidden in the jungle, the El Chonta cave proposes a labyrinth of huge tufas. The site is completely new, and the climbers have a great time. The second part of the trip takes place in Jilotepec, a crag on very abrasive volcanic rock. There are new challenges hiding on the different faces of the Huevo de Godzilla monolith, offering a different style of climbing. The Petzl RocTrip coincides with the Day of the Dead, an opportunity for the visitors to discover a new culture.
