Rock Climbing at Hueco Tanks

March 29th, 2021 Staff No Comments »

The rock climbing at Hueco Tanks is synonymous with one thing above anything else; world-class bouldering. In many people’s eyes, indeed, this lonely syenite (an igneous rock similar to granite) outcrop on the outskirts of El Paso is where bouldering evolved from a hazily defined concept into a fully-formed sport. Truth be told, it’s not hard to see why. Altogether there are thousands of routes, spanning all grades, for you to get to grips with.

The best time of year to pit yourself against Hueco Tanks’ fiendish bouldering problems is during winter and early spring. It’s worth bearing in mind that outside of that prime climbing season, the sunbaked rock can become literally too hot to handle.

Irrespective of when you decide to go, however, it certainly pays to book ahead. Access to the North Mountain area – Read more »

Enchanted Rock State Natural Area

March 22nd, 2021 Staff No Comments »

Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is located just outside the city of Fredericksburg in central Texas. The park derives its name from its focal point; a billion-year-old granite dome that bulges conspicuously out of the surrounding landscape.

Topping out at 1,825 feet above sea level, the pink-hued Enchanted Rock makes for a fantastic amenity for hikers and climbers alike. All in all, this impressive geological feature, together with neighboring subsidiary domes, is crisscrossed by 11 miles of hiking trails.

Climbers, meanwhile, are equally well catered for. The dome’s steeper slopes are lined with enough pitches to keep even Chris Sharma busy. It’s worth noting, however, that climbers are required to sign a release waiver before hitting the dome’s walls.

Rest assured, though, it’s not all about getting a sweat on. The park’s unimpeachably dark skies make it a firm favorite among amateur astronomers. Nature lovers, meanwhile, are drawn to the area by the rich diversity of wildlife on hand. Read more »
