The 7 Summits Club guide Olya Rumyantseva sends a message from Mexico:

Greetings from Mexico, from the "Promising Optimists" group! Yesterday, almost the entire group of us climbed to the summit of Volcano Orizaba. It wasn't easy. On the way to the glacier, a cloud covered us, leaving us covered in a crust of ice. I almost thought our epic ice climb would be repeated. But then the clouds cleared. Those who persevered, climbed the glacier, and continued along the volcano's snowy cone were rewarded with magical views and sunny weather.

And in the evening, a surprise awaited us – an unforgettable mariachi concert and celebratory fireworks.
