On this trip we’ll be staying at La Posada. It’s a classic climber hang with a lovely scene, lots of friendly folks from around the world, and a very chic restaurant / cafe. The climbing is just a few minutes walk away — you can see it from your bed — and there’s a nice pool that you usually won’t be interested in cause it’s often a bit chilly out. There’s laundry, somewhat reliable hot water and internet, and usually a few cute dogs running around.

This trip can be as epic or relaxed as you like. Wanna climb a 15 pitch 5.10 sport route? Great! Want to take a day to read at the pool? Perfect! We have a lot of wiggle room to create perfect days. Potrero has climbing for everyone. That being said, being confident climbing 5.9 opens up a huge amount of terrain. Under the 5.9 level you will be mostly climbing single pitch routes.

You may cancel up to 120 days before the scheduled travel date and receive a full refund minus a $300 per-person service fee. If you cancel between 120 and 60 days of travel, there is a 50% cancellation fee. Within 60 days of travel, there is a 100% cancellation fee. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance.

We always encourage folks to purchase trip cancelation insurance in addition to the mandatory medical evacuation insurance. We require that you have at least $200,000 in medical evacuation insurance. Your insurance policy should cover hazardous sports and we recommend that your policy cover search and rescue. Since we cannot confirm each client’s policy individually, it is your responsibility to make sure your policy will cover you while you participate in your activities of choice on the expedition.

For US citizens, we recommend Global Rescue. You will have a choice of purchasing it with or without the cancellation coverage–so make sure to select the one that gives you the coverage that you need. Other commonly used companies include World Nomads and Squaremouth.

You are welcome to seek out other insurance options, as these are only recommendations. When selecting a policy, please make sure they insure all the activities you’ll be participating in (many don’t include roped climbing, skiing, mountaineering, etc).
