Team 3 Summits El Pico de Orizaba!

Hello Everyone,

We have all made it back down safely from El Pico de Orizaba and have concluded a successful trip! Yesterday afternoon we made it back to Mexico City where we had a celebratory dinner and were also able to catch a bull fight in the evening. I have attached a few photos of our ascent of Orizaba starting with the drive in 4×4’s to the hut. I’ve also attached photos’s of Grant and Tyler on the summit of Orizaba, and all of us wearing our sombreros, sipping on coconut water on the summit at around 18,500ft!

Thanks for following along on this successful trip and season on the Volcanoes of Mexico!

We hope you’ll join us next year in Mexico!

Adios,

Ben
