Orizaba, all programs »
Hello to all from sunny Mexico! Sunny, but very cold. We planned to climb Mount Orizaba, contrary to all the recommendations and poor forecast. At an altitude of over 5000 meters, the wind was so strong that it did not allow us to stand at full height. In addition, the state of the route was very bad, instead of a snowy slope there was hard ice. At the same time, the temperature was below minus 20. And still poor forecast….
Going down, we learned that all of Mexico suffers from unprecedented cold weather. There is a national disaster here.
