One or more users briefly gained access to change government-run accounts for a state in India and city in Mexico to different handles representing Hitler X originally granted the special gray verification badge to the countries' government accounts not those representing the former German dictator A rumor circulating online in February 2025 claimed tech billionaire Elon Musk's X provided gray verification badges — intended for government or multilateral organizations or officials — to accounts representing Adolf Hitler the former German dictator and leader of the Nazi Party One week earlier, on Feb. 15, another X user posted (archived) about a different Hitler account "What the f*** is going on." The post featured two authentic screenshots from an X account also displaying a gray verification badge One post from @adolf_gov visible in one of the screenshots began "I have returned to make Germany great again." However, Musk's X did not provide gray verification badges to accounts representing Hitler. One or more unknown users changed the handles of existing government accounts for India and Mexico to make political statements against Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, for which Musk serves as the public face of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with a user briefly changing the handle to @adolf_gov Those handles displayed the same ID number (897695570206355457) neither @mxjilotepec nor @WRD_Bihar displayed any posts Government officials for Jilotepec and Bihar did not respond to a request for further information about the incidents involving the two accounts this deception will just be another nail in the coffin of legacy media." In May 2024, Musk reinstated the X account for Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust-denying white supremacist. Musk posted (archived) of Fuentes' reinstatement to "let him be crushed by the comments and Community Notes," adding "It is better to have anti whatever out in the open to be rebutted than grow simmering in the darkness."

sanctuaries of style Be one of the first to try our new activity feed I’ve been searching for the perfect wall: a towering giant of rope-stretching routes that are technical and sustained Add camping on a flat and grassy cliff base a short approach that merely serves to deposit me away from the road I’ve parked on and a longer-than-normal climbing season with fairly low temps a couple hours northwest of Mexico City in the Dexcaní Mountains is home to the crag that’s the closest I’ve found yet to my personal heaven that’s only because it’s in Mexico and not my backyard “holy shit” is likely to be your first response after catching your first glimpse of El Huevo egg-shaped monolith smack dab in the middle of the Jilotepec (Jilo) climbing area Walking up the trail to the base of El Huevo had me craning my neck farther and farther back as I tried to digest the thought of climbing to the top of this daunting wall in a single mega-pitch Opting for something a bit less intimidating on which to warm up our group meandered around the trails to Jilo’s various cobbled volcanic crags Whether the standard for the area (or for Mexican climbers) is higher or the rock just doesn’t lend itself to easier climbing a vast majority of the Jilo routes are 5.10 and up with only a few 5.9s and 5.8s scattered through the area La Prima de Nancy (5.8) and Nancy (5.9) are two slabby but solid warm-ups on the trail leading to El Huevo directly opposite and up the hill from Dio de Campo on El Huevo with the highest concentration of good 5.10 climbing while the backside of El Huevo at the Frenesí sector has slightly harder routes in the 5.11 range If you’re the type of climber that likes warming up on 5.10 or 5.11 and projecting 5.12 you’d be hard-pressed to find a more suitable area for your strengths Many of the 5.11 and 5.12 routes yield sustained and thoughtful climbing And if you’re psyched on climbing routes even harder (5.13a to 5.14+) the front side of El Huevo has a wealth of hard and there are plenty of open projects to go around A few of these harder routes are chipped and contain drilled pockets (denoted in the guidebook) Jilo’s vertical and slightly overhanging cliffs are a technical climber’s dreamland with squared-off cobbles littering each route We quickly found that some areas (like Frenesí) have great 5.10 climbing as long as you can get past the one- or two-move The fun Serpientes y Escaleras (5.10c) requires circumnavigating a cruxy cactus in the middle of the route Often you’ll find yourself negotiating voluminous cobbles welded into the hard volcanic stone only to reach smaller cobbles that force you to get creative with your hands El Nahual (5.12d) and El Chaneque (5.12a) both have cruxes that force the climber to put basically every limb on a single giant cobble to advance to easier climbing above once you learn a few tricks and techniques (such as identifying good and bad cobbles and knowing when to rest and when to simply keep moving) I’m told by others who have visited the area that it’s best to keep all of your belongings with you and not in a rental car Because of Jilo’s location far from the U.S border and a good distance from Mexico City but you can never forget that you’re still in Mexico a developing country plagued by poverty in many parts—crime can occasionally be a problem Knowledge of the language and culture are certainly a plus when traveling here the people of Mexico were as kind as possible and incredibly excited that climbers were visiting their local area Will Jilo be your personal cragging heaven With more than 80 bolted sport routes (50-plus of them under 5.12) you should fi nd plenty to keep you busy while you decide Getting there: Fly into Mexico City and take a bus to Jilotepec departing from the Terminal de Autobuses Norte Take a cab from the airport to reach this terminal Getting around: If you’re not planning on leaving the area taxis are fine for getting between the crags and the town of Jilotepec and the cabs will run you about $5 to $6 but if you’re more into creature comforts the Xilonen Palace is the nicest hotel in town and will only run you about 550 pesos ($45) per night • ¡Ay Nanita!: El Hombre del Costal (5.11b) El Nahual (5.12d)• Frenesí: El Alacrán (5.10d) Frenesí (5.12b)• El Circo: Cirque du Solei (5.10b) This sports facility is

we speak reasonable Spanish and have visited Mexico many times The climbing areas generally are easily accessible and safe for foreign visitors and guidebooks and online info are available But the planning and logistics would have added a lot of stress to our vacation and the driving would have been somewhat terrifying with whom we were eager to spend more time not only brought his fluent Spanish to the group but also intimate knowledge of Mexican culture Bernardo would order widely from the menus giving us the opportunity to try dozens of foods we’d never had—and nothing like the Tex-Mex you see at home and sleeping in comfortable hotels—we weren’t exactly roughing it our group of nine climbed at four separate places in El Bajío a region northwest of Mexico City that long has been among the country’s most fertile and prosperous areas the rest of the team continued to a fifth climbing area but otherwise they were completely different Few of their names would be recognized by most U.S but the climbing at most of them is worth a trip Made somewhat famous outside Mexico by a Petzl RocTrip in 2010 (video/article) this is one of the most popular destinations for Mexico City climbers the crags ring an enormous monolith of ash-colored conglomerate called El Huevo (“the egg”) where hanging draws trace overhanging lines up to solid 5.14 the flowering trees were alive with buzzing insects and birds We started at an area near the car called Sal de Mi with routes up to about 25 meters high and a good range of grades The nearby El Pilar had three short 5.7 to 5.9 routes that made good warmups a young guy offered to clip the first bolt for me on one route but I declined and bouldered it out as he watched A few minutes up the hill was a zone called El Circo sustained 5.10 and 5.11 pitches on vertical stone As we walked back down toward the parking at the end of the first day the young climber who had volunteered to help earlier came running over with a friend and a camera Half a dozen members of our group—all in their 40s and 50s—lined up for the photo After a morning of climbing at Jilotepec—nearly empty on a Monday—we headed north into the state of Querétaro and one of the highlights of the trip: the Peña de Bernal The Peña (“rock”) is a spectacular volcanic plug—one of the larger monoliths in the world—with routes up five to seven pitches long on skin-friendly rhyolite There are shorter and harder climbs nearby Three grand classics ascend the southeast and northwest sides of the rock and over two days our group climbed them all: the Filo Noroeste Each was 5.9 or 5.10 and almost entirely bolted; I carried a small rack but never placed a piece posed for photos below large green crosses mounted on the summit and took in the views over green hills and the colonial city of Bernal The descent was by rappel and scrambling down past a shrine that draws religious hikers up hundreds of steps I was sick (from a head cold—nothing to do with Montezuma or any feelings of revenge) so after breakfast at a rooftop place where the tables overflowed with glasses of fresh-squeezed juice and cups of aromatic Mexican hot chocolate my wife and a friend joined me to explore the town while the others headed back up to the Peña Bernal is an attractive colonial town with colorful mustard and ochre churches and shops filled with weavings and gifts for the mostly Mexican tourists who visit and my wife and the proprietor soon were sharing photos of their dogs; he walked his dog up to the Peña each day For lunch we picked the place with the longest line in town and chowed on gorditas fried up by a pair of women standing by a griddle at the front door Then I made my way back to our colonial-era hotel the group was ready for a rest day and the spot for it was San Miguel de Allende a colonial city and World Heritage Site in the neighboring state of Guanajuato and other attractions that make it one of Mexico’s most popular tourist destinations and the home of many Norte Americano expats (though it still has a Mexican feel) We spent an entire day wandering the streets and alleys and returned to our hotel with a painting and three camisas to pack alongside our climbing gear in the already overloaded van The next day we drove about an hour to the colorful city of Guanajuato and then followed a winding two-track high above town to La Bufa a cluster of rock fins and towers along a brush-covered ridge much like the pocketed rhyolite at Penitente Canyon in Colorado We spent the day on the shady bolted cliffs sampling routes from 5.8 to upper 5.11 and ogling a 5.13 out a stunning arête La Bufa itself is not a major climbing destination but it would make a worthy sport break in a tourist trip to San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato a bustling university city that has numerous attractions in its own right we drove down to a park honoring El Pípila a hero of the early days of the Mexican war of independence and then walked down a series of stone steps to explore the center of the city we ate outside at a restaurant bordering the tree-filled zocalo (central plaza) we paid a mariachi band to serenade us with Cielito Lindo My only previous climbing trip to Mexico—and all of my mental images of Mexican climbing—had involved exclusively sport climbing But we were about to discover that trad climbing is alive and well south of the border After three nights in San Miguel de Allende we drove to the whitewashed village of Aculco a river has carved a gorge from basalt reminiscent of the Lower Gorge at Smith Rock or Paradise Forks in Arizona The guidebook calls it the “Mexican Indian Creek.” About 150 climbs line both sides of the gorge below a pretty waterfall with rappels or top-ropes anchored to convenient trees or from below by a simple scramble and trail and arêtes up to about 30 meters high—what they have in common is relentless steepness We all agreed that every climb we did seemed under-graded by one to two letters Or maybe we’d all just gotten soft from clipping bolts and following Bernardo’s menu recommendations the climbing was superb and this is a place I’d definitely visit again I’d bring three sets of cams instead of two But the rest of the group still looked forward to two days at Los Dinámos one of the best cragging areas in central Mexico Los Dinámos comprises a series of cliff lines on a pine-covered hillside High above the west side of the already high-elevation Mexico City Los Dinámos tops out at nearly 10,000 feet making for chilly climbing and perhaps a fun way to acclimatize for Mexico’s popular volcano climbs the last full day in Mexico was capped with an afternoon trip to the 2,000-year-old pyramids of Teotihuacán and dinner at an amazing restaurant inside a huge cave where some of us added ant eggs and moth larvae to the gross-out-your-family Facebook photos in our collection I was sorry we were headed home instead of going to Los Dinámos with the rest of the gang But I also took some comfort in the knowledge that Bernardo and Steve were planning a brand-new Mexican trip to the rock climbing areas near the city of Guadalajara Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker El Puerto de Liverpool informed that it will invest 25,000 million pesos in a logistics center in Mexico the company communicated relevant aspects of the project «Arco Norte Logistics Platform» (PLAN) which is located in the municipality of Jilotepec The first stage will be dedicated to the storage and distribution of “Big Ticket” items The investment associated with this phase will be 7,400 million pesos and it is expected to start operating in the first quarter of 2022 The Port of Liverpool added that in this first phase it is expected to generate a total of 1,300 direct jobs and 1,750 indirect jobs A second warehouse for the handling and storage of clothing and general merchandise will require an investment of 8.800 million estimating its start-up during the first quarter of 2024 The master plan of the PLAN project will be deployed on a total area of ​​188 hectares of land considers a total of six warehouses and a global investment of more than 25,000 million pesos El Puerto de Liverpool is one of the largest full-line departmental warehouses in the country with 122 Liverpool units and 167 Suburbia units in operation in 57 cities in the Mexican Republic Additionally, it is the third largest credit card issuer in Mexico with more than 5.5 million accounts Redacción: 7224059128info@opportimes.com
