Heading to El Potrero Chico in April and wondering if there are any guide books available. I know Kurt Smith used wrote one a few years ago but a lot has been developed since and that book is out of print I believe. I guess there is a record of climbs at Homero's but how reliable is it. Anyone been? and advise would be appreciated.

I just got back this past Saturday (Feb 20). Pick up a guide at Homero's. It's only a couple of bucks and is as up to date as a guide can get in that place. New routes are posted in the kitchen. Check the weather patterns for April. I could be wrong, but I think that's the rainy season.
