The final steps to the summit of Orizaba. (Photo by Ken Curchin)
Two mountains and now two summits. IMG partner, Georg Dunn, called from the summit of Orizaba at 7 am. He had just finished shaking hands with all his team mates. One climber stayed in Tlachichuca to take care of a respiratory issue but all other members began the climb this morning and all reached the summit. We’re very pleased and proud. What a great example of all climbers coming prepared, taking good care of themselves during the trip and then keeping their eye on the prize. There will be 8 very tired but very excited climbers having dinner with the Reyes family tonight in Tlachichuca.
Well done, team.
