CLIMBING PICO DE ORIZABA & ITZACCIHUATL (18,400 FEET!)...Mexico’s Highest Peaks

- Pico de Orizaba and Itzaccihuatl are the two highest climbable peaks in all of Mexico. Climbing them is great prep for some of the biggest mountains in the world. I was fortunate to make some good friends who are experienced mountaineers.
Many people think Mexico is all beaches and resorts, but I am here to tell you that Mexico is so mucho more than just Cabo, Cancun, Vallarta, and Acapulco. Itza and Pico de Orizaba tower over the central highlands and are some of the highest peaks in all of North America to climb!

This is INCREDIBLE Brian!! The terrain with the shale rock, reminds me of "Castle Rock" with your dad at Camp Verdant Vales!!
Thanks Jenny...happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed your video, it is interesting to see Mexico through your experience and adventure, climbing Pico de Orizaba is a great odyssey, congratulation!! greetings from someone from Mexico, new subscriber here! Also you pronounce náhuatl names very well :D
Hey thank you for your kind words...it means a lot. I appreciate the support!
Stunning footage and great storyline! As always, love hearing your kind and empathetic voice taking me to places both familiar and unknown. -- Debjeet.
Thank you Debjeet! Always appreciate your friendship.
I agree!! Very great storyteller and has a very kind voice. Keep it up!!
Great video! Thanks for posting. Beautiful mountain and great friends. Loved the dog! I want to climb this mountain someday. I’m in Texas so it’s not too far away.
Hope you get to make it down!
I love the dog is always around you guys and that he made it all the way up to the mountain. 😱🥰🙏🏽
Puma is amazing!
Amazing. Congrats on making it to the summit! I'm looking to climb Orizaba this November. What training did you do to get ready? It sounds like you got a lot of snow, were there any slippery parts with ice? Any general advice? Much thanks for the great video.
Thanks! I trail run constantly which helps. Ice axe and crampons where a must when we did Pico for sure.
Spectacular!!! Lovely to join you and listen and see this incredible area of Mexico. My partner is from Mexico City and she says that about 10 years ago, they were flat out told, don't go near any of those mountains, due to cartel and robber danger. Did you experience or hear anything like this? It looked like there were tons of people out there, so is it not considered dangerous to be out and about there (I'm talking about human danger, not volcano or altitude danger)?
I did not feel in danger at all from locals while going to either of these areas. It was a great experience !
Cartels are in mountains you can grow on . This mountain Is to high to grow anything on

Hey man, nice video! I already climbed Izta from La Joya. I'm willing to try the same route that you did. How did you get to that refugio where you parked the Jeep? Can you share the route? Saludos
Hey! Yes we went up from the refugio, through the boulder field and then straight up the ridge!
Thanks! Great content. Can I hire those guys as guides??
They are both my friends! If you need guides you can send me a message to briandavidasher@gmail.com and I can see what I can find..
Do you plan on climbing the other members of the seven third summits(Kanchenjunga,Mount Pissis,Mount Shkhara,Mawenezi Peak,Trikora Peak/Mount Twynam, & Mount Shinn) or just Orizaba?
I have never heard of that list so probably not I guess
Excelente video, los guías dan servicio en general? de ser así podrías compartir el nombre de su agencia o contactos?
Gracias. Fui con dos amigos entonces no te puedo decir mucha informacion sobre guias locales. Espero que te vaya muy bien.
What month were you there? Very inspiring.
Thanks! I was there in November
Might have missed it, but at what time of the year did you climbed both volcanoes?
We climbed both of them in November
@@theworldhiker1 thank you very much for the response, i have been wanting to climb ixta for some time now, i was worried i could not go with my current gear but looks like if i pick the right weather and time of the year its doable!

Crees q cualquier persona lo pueda subir sin preparación previa. ?
Creo que una condicion fisica buena es necesario
