Ok, you don't have to camp. You can rent a room in a house with an ensuite bathroom at Homeros, for 20 per night. You can rent a room at Posada (all types of rooms, from hotel type to basic bedrooms, no bath). The Pagoda also has rooms for rent. All of those places have kitchens where you can cook breakfast and prepare your own lunch. Many people go out for dinner, as it's really inexpensive.
You do not need to rent a car, Luis or Homero or Ed can organize your transportation to/from MTY. You can walk to the cliff.
I did TWZ and it's a tough climb. the 21st pitch is a 12, so you better have a lot of skill and endurance. The first 14 pitches were fine, but then the route gets significantly steeper and the pitches are at least 5.10. Don't forget, you also have to rappel 23 pitches. It took us 13 hours round trip and we linked pitches.
The climbs at EPC are really well bolted, typically 10 feet between bolts. Search for EPC favorites, I published a list of favorites on Rc.com. It's pure sport climbing, not alpiney at all.
Snot girlz, Satori, Space Boyz, Estrallita, Yankee Clipper are all really great climbs.
I think that you could find some people to climb with if you start looking now. Use RC.Com to see who is going to be there at the same time as you. Mitch and I may be there from october 25 through the 31st.
