Map of the trip as recorded by my SPoT satellite tracker.

The route was ridden in a clockwise direction. I started in California, went across Arizona to Texas, and then down the Gulf Coast of Mexico into Guatamala. I spent about a month in Guatemala, and returned up the Pacific coast of Mexico, taking the overnight ferry from Mazatlan to La Paz, and then up through Baja back to California.

Day 12: Luca, Hans, and I climbed the via ferrata outside of Monterrey, after Choy led us to the base of it. Choy has to get back to his school work today, so he couldn't join us. We had a fantastic time! It's around a thousand vertical feet, complete with an airy horizontal cable bridge a couple hundred feet off the deck, and 4 aluminum ladders hanging in space that you have to climb, while suspended over a good 1000 feet of air. Fantastic! It rivals the via ferratas I did in Europe.

At the top, we saw some cables strung out hundreds of meters for a Tyrolean descent. Not having the equipment or knowledge of the setup, we simply rappelled down from the top.
