Greetings from sunny Mexico! Today, the "Equipo de Orizaba" group set off for an acclimatization climb to La Malinche Peak. The route from the entrance to the National Park to the summit took us 5 hours and 42 minutes. We climbed faster than expected. The route is very picturesque: it begins in a pine forest, then passes through a small section of alpine meadows, and then reaches the rocky pre-summit area. The summit itself is compact; our entire large team (17 people) barely fit on top.
Afterward, we descended along the same route we had climbed. Tomorrow, we'll travel to the base camp at Orizaba Peak. The group guides are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.
