Hello All,
The team travelled to 13,700 feet yesterday afternoon and setup camp at the Orizaba Basecamp. We had some ridiculously good burritos for dinner and then turned in for an early night. Most folks enjoyed 10-12 hrs of rest/sleep although there was a crazy dog cruising around camp that woke us all up!
After breakfast we went for a short acclimatization hike to 15000 feet and returned to camp for a great lunch: fresh fruit, soup and chicken!
The team is currently sitting and sorting through their gear in preparation for our early morning departure for the summit of Orizaba. We hope to make the 4600 foot climb through the night and reach the summit shortly after sunrise. The weather seems ideal and everyone is handling the altitude well. Wish us luck.
All the Best,
Seth
