wzup girl? well, I can help you, first of all, get to Monterrey, and then dial any of these numbers: 83482258 or 83560061 that sure will help. You can ask for Gerardo or Eugenio, we can show you around.

I'm considering heading down too, prob mid-April, and would be glad to talk to anyone about partnering up. Warm, good rock, super multi-pitch routes, only need to bring QDs, camping w/facilities - what more could you ask for? This will be my first time though I've heard plenty of good about it. I'm an easy-going guy from Oregon with 15 years of climbing under my harness, leading 10s and 11s, flailing on 12s.
I found some good info at this site:

just got back... stayed in Posada... it was much nicer than homero's (the other popular spot). plenty of hot water, a huge kitchen you can use, a great restaurant. plenty of tent space with some cabins.
bused it down there from austin tx. it was easy, got a bus from austin to monterrey, then one from there to hidalgo (the town by potrero) and you can either take a taxi, hitch a ride, or hike out to the campground. good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
