It doesn’t matter where you go. It's really important to plan the perfect trip. So, to plan the perfect rock-climbing vacation to Mexico, we have outlined some of the important tips from local guides.

5 Tips From Local Guides

As much as you love a rock-climbing vacation, it's important to know how to plan for the perfect climbing vacation in Mexico. Below are some of the tips for the perfect rock-climbing vacation from local guides.

1.   Choose Your Destination Wisely

Tempting as it is to pick somewhere and go, it’s important to consider the area beforehand and check it suits your expectations. Make sure there’s a good spread of routes that sit (realistically) at your grade, or you could be in for a very frustrating experience. Once you’ve decided, study the guidebook extensively for helpful information and check climbing sites/forums for tips from fellow climbers.

2.   Plan Around The Weather

The weather can be a real wildcard when you're planning a trip. Check the forecast before you go, and have a backup plan in case it looks like rain.

If you're lucky to be heading somewhere sunny, you can usually predict the weather based on the season. Climbing in hotter weather can be slippery, so avoiding the summer months is best.

3.   Set Objectives

Your ambitions for the trip are important, but it’s equally necessary to check they align with your companions’. You may have your heart set on all-day multi-pitch extravaganzas, but if your friends prefer to do four relaxed climbs and hit the pool for the rest of the day, you may not get far without a bust-up. Get everyone to discuss beforehand what routes they want to climb, who’s willing to lead/second, and if you wish to do any activities other than climbing.

4.   Clock Your Local Amenities

Handy pre-trip questions include:

●        Where’s the nearest supermarket?

●        What are the opening times?

●        Where’s the nearest climbing shop (in case of emergency gear replacements)?

●        If you’re in a foreign country, what’s the emergency number?

●        And, top of all, where’s the pub?

It’s good to know what’s around beforehand, partly for your safety, so you don’t have to waste time figuring out logistics when you could be on the rock.

5.   Do Pre-Trip Training (Mind & Body)

Pre-trip training plans are a great way to get psyched up and build strength and stamina for more rewarding days on the crag. Overcoming the fear of falling also increases your confidence in rock. Practice a few small falls with an experienced belayer to boost your head game.

 And to avoid arriving sore, stay fresh by laying off climbing a few days before the trip.
