Success on Sierra Negra!

Posted on January 16, 2026 | Cybercasts
Today the team had a delicious breakfast at Orizaba Mountain Guides, then headed out to Sierra Negra, a sub peak of Orizaba with a gamma ray detection satellite.  We made great time up to the summit despite the wind and got some nice views of the South side of Orizaba.  Back to OMG for lunch, ans now we are headed to our main basecamp where we will be the next 2 nights. Acclimation hike tomorrow and then summit attempt early Saturday!
We will check in when we can, thanks for following along!
