November 9th Georgy Royko and his friends (5 people) climbed to the highest volcano in North America, the highest point of Mexico - Mount Orizaba. Mexican guides our friends Israel Breton and Vero Herrera reached the top with them. Thanks to them, our climbers have managed to overcome the caprices of the mountain, met them by a strong wind and fog. Thanks to our guides! And our sincere congratulations to climbers!

Members of the first group climbed up to La Malinche at 4th November and yesterday went to the side of Orizaba. The second group, they are active members of the 7 Summits Club (leader George Royko), were at the top of La Malinche yesterday, November 5th.

We warmly congratulate them all and wish them good luck in Orizaba!
