Mexico’s Volcanoes: Luedtke & Team Reach Summit of La Malinche for Acclimatization Hike

February 24, 2026

Posted by: Ben Luedtke

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mexico

We had a hearty breakfast at Malinzi Resort and loaded up small day packs to head up to the summit of La Malinche today. Everyone seemed to be feeling well. We had absolutely perfect weather for our hike.

If you like the Disappointment Cleaver then you will love La Malinche. We had alot of loose scree and rock until the final scramble.

Everyone made it to the gorgeous summit, our camp dog "Lizzy" included! We spent some time at the summit gathering 360 views and memories to share!

We had an easy decent and made it back in time to relax and shower before dinner.

Tomorrow on to the next mountain!
