Snott Girlz — Snott Girlz.

We knew that day three weather was shaping up to be the only dry one. Shirley and I got up early for our special climb only to find four climbers who were even more determined…oh well. We ended up climbing the beautiful Snott Girlz line (7-pitch, 5.10+) later that day while Eric and Lucie did the next door Treasure Of The Sierra Madre. Spectacular climbing and a much easier 10+ than Agua…or maybe it was the crack climbing part or perhaps the sunshine? One final home-cooked dinner followed by another very rainy morning.

Snott Girlz — Leading the BEAUTIFUL pitch 1 of Snott Girlz (5.10+). This route had the best climbing of all the routes from the road trip and became our new favorite in EPC (taking the cake away from Pancho Villa…).

Snott Girlz — Starting the 7th and final pitch of Snott Girlz. The climbing remained super fun from start to finish. Can’t recommend this route enough (Dec. 2013).

Mota Wall — The Mota Wall. This was the first (and last) sunny day at EPC after a long spell of shitty weather. As a result, place was going off with climbers. The hawk eyed observer will spot Eric and Lucie rapping down the Treasure Of The Sierra Madre (Dec. 2013).
