Pico de Orizaba
Our Mexico team had some of the best climbing conditions in years when they summited Pico de Orizaba this morning. Congratulations to everyone! Always fun to get that sat phone call. The team is climbing down to the high hut, now. After a quick packing and clean up, 4-wheel drive vehicles will take them back to the town of Tlachichuca for cold drinks, showers, a great dinner with the Reyes family and a good night’s sleep. First thing in the morning, they’ll be off to Mexico City for a final night.
Some of them might just make it home for the Super Bowl!
