Hello everyone,
This is Team Mexico calling in from the hut at Orizaba. We had a great day yesterday in Puebla, a day of rest and relaxation. We've all recovered and recuperated after our big day on Ixta. But we're here now setting up tents. There is a hut here, as I mentioned, but it's a little nicer to stay outside. We've got some great Mountain Hardware tents that we're setting up right now for the team. The weather was beautiful coming in, we were able to see Orizaba all day long. But, now we're actually in a cloud but it's one of those happy clouds that surrounded the mountain, real calm winds really non existent winds right now, and we're having some good high hopes for tomorrow. Our plan is to wake up around midnight, and start climbing right around 1:30 - 2 o'clock in the morning, and if all goes well will be getting to the top of Orizaba right around 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, so thanks for following along. Stay tuned, because hopefully tomorrow will have some great news for you.
Take care everyone, adios from Mexico.
