Back From The Depths

Wow!  its been a little over a week since our last post and it`s always hard to know where to start when so much has happened in between. 

This time it´s even tougher because we´ve just gotten back from an unbelievably incredible 8 days of the most interesting, hard, fun, scary, and exhausting climbing that i´ve ever done. 

Right now, grandma is back at home whipping up some kind of interesting surprise lunch so my post is going to be really short (sorry), but with only 2 days to go and still lots of things to do here in Mexico City, i dont have much time for too many details. 

However, we will be staying with our friends Todd and Amelia for a couple days once we get back to the states so that we can get orgainzed and really update the blog with more details and pictures, and my flickr account as well. 

So, in a nutshell, we left Potrero and head to Taxco, MX where we got more information on how to get to the mysterious "Chonta" cave, rumored to be about 500 feet deep and filled with a powerful handful of overhanging, tufa ridden test pieces.  Once we got to the cave, we spent a fantasy filled 8 days crushing new boundaries and having the time of our lives, and now once again we are back in Mexico City, running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to get every last little thing done before heading back to Portland and continuing the road trip.
