We woke up at 1130pm "this morning" to start our ascent of the 3rd highest mountain in North America: Pico de Orizaba. The weather was perfect throughout our climb and four
climbers and three guides made the summit.
We climbed the Ruta Norte and found good conditions on the glacier.
We are currently en route back to Mexico City and look forward to a hot shower and a nice dinner before getting some much needed rest.
Thanks for following along and wish us luck 
on our COVID exams!
Cheers
Seth
