Join us on our TENTH visit to this Mexican giant!
At over 18,400 feet, Pico de Orizaba is the third highest mountain in North America and one of the most accessible "big mountains" in the world. We base our expedition in the town of Tlachichuca and then move to a base in the Piedra Grande hut where we acclimatize to the thin air at 13,700ft. We then set a high camp at 16,000 feet for our summit attempt.
Orizaba is a non-technical climb and we can teach novice climbers the skills they need to attempt the peak including ice ax and crampon use, glacier travel, and self arrest techniques.
This is a demanding climb and candidates should be fit and physically and mentally prepared for the experience.
Included in the cost is ground transportation, lodging, meals in Tlachichuca and at Piedra Grande, technical gear, instruction and guiding.
You are responsible for personal gear, beverages in Tlachichuca, and air transportation to Mexico City
