Mexico’s Volcanoes: Beren & Team on the Pico de Orizaba Summit!

November 11, 2017

Posted by: Jake Beren

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mexico

Elevation: 18,491'

Update: November 11th, 2:00 pm PT Buenas Tardes! Our team has safely returned down to Tlachichuca after our climb of Orizaba this morning. It was a beautiful day and a great climb, made even more so by the fact that we were the only people on the entire mountain! What a treat. Now back in the valley below, we are doing the old duffle shuffle and getting ready to celebrate with a hard earned dinner. Tomorrow we will part ways, but our time in Mexico has been a fantastic adventure. RMI Guide Jake Beren Transcription of call from the Orizaba summit: Hello. This is Jake on top of Pico de Orizaba with the crew. We are doing great. We had a beautiful, could not ask for a better style day, today. The winds are light, the sun is out, and we're going to reverse our path and start heading down soon. It was a great climb, everybody did well, and we'll be in touch from the lowlands. Alright everybody take care.
