Mexico’s Volcanoes: King & Team Ascend to High Camp on Ixta

Today we woke to what might be the clearest morning of the Mexican countryside one might ever see. With the massive populations of Mexico City and Puebla the view is usually obscured with smoke, volcanic fog, smog. This morning we could make out high rise buildings and had a crystal clear view of Orizaba. The Team took four hours to ascend to High Camp, located at 15,500’. We had warm weather and heavy packs. Everyone is relaxing in their tents as afternoon clouds roll through. We will have some dinner and prepare for our summit bid tomorrow morning. Should be a nice day if the recent weather holds.
