Climbing PICO DE ORIZABA, a 5636 m high volcano!
มุมมอง 2.8K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
I set out to climb Pico de Orizaba, also known as Citlaltépetl or Iztactépetl. It is a stratovolcano that rises to 5636 m / 18,491 feet above sea level. It is the highest mountain in Mexico and third highest in North America. The volcano sits on the border between the states of Puebla and Veracruz. Although dormant the volcano is not extinct and last erupted in 1846.

This video will show you the classic mountaineering itinerary of preparing and acclimatizing on Gran Paradiso, the rest day and the climb of Mont Blanc via the Normal Route (also called Gouter Route), that takes me through the the Grand Couloir and past the Tête R...

Made it to 18900 feet and turned around after vomiting from altitude sickness. My older son did make the summit. So the expedition waa not a total loss. We also summited Cayambe, Anisa Sur and Pinchincha Guagua. Side note. My youngest son is going back in 2 weeks for a third attempt. Lets see what happens.
