Mexico 2023 Spring - Fall

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Mexico:

Buenos Dias!  The Totonaki group climbed the summit of Orizaba Peak today! We left at one o'clock in the morning, and already at 8 in the morning we were standing on top of the crater. We were lucky with the weather. Two days ago it was snowing, and today it was calm and clear sky. On the descent from the Base Camp we went to the city of Pueblo, where tomorrow we have a city tour.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Mexico:

Buenos Dias! News of the Totonaki group. After the snow fell at night at the Orizaba Base Camp, after breakfast, we went to the acclimatization rotation. Before that, the crampons were fitted under high-rise boots, as it was slippery on the trail. In the end, the sun did not appear, although we hoped for it.  On the contrary, snow broke off at times. We walked along the mountain path, climbed through the maze to the plateau, where a fairly heavy snowfall had already begun.  Here they decided that we were hungry and went down to meet with Mexican cuisine. Tomorrow we will go to the assault camp, from where the ascent to Orizaba Peak will begin.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Mexico:

 Buenos Dias! The Totonaki group continues its journey to the peak of Orizaba.  From Saltepec we went to Orizaba Base Camp.  Part of the way we went by bus, then, where the dirt road began, we switched to SUVs. The camp is located at an altitude of 4200. It snowed at night, and we found ourselves in winter. Our tents are of high quality, neither the things nor the participants got wet. After breakfast we go up the slopes for acclimatization. 

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Mexico:

Buenos Dias!  Our group "Totonaki" moved to the active part of the program, in which today we had to climb the summit of La Malinche.  We did it! The height of 4400 and the height difference of 1300 are passed! A beautiful peak and a beautiful route to it. Everything was here today: beautiful forest trails, fascinating views of the surroundings located at the foot of the mountain, and stone scree, and even had to climb a little on the rocks when reaching the top.  Tired and satisfied, we went down to the Hacienda. Tomorrow we are already going to the foot of Orizaba Peak, where we will spend several acclimatization days before the summit assault.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Mexico:

Buenos Dias! So we're in Mexico.  Where the highest volcano in North America is located - Orizaba. And our group is called Totonaki. From the capital city of Mexico City, we set off on a journey to this beautiful peak. We made a stop at the pyramids of Teotihuacan, where we got acquainted with the ancient civilization. After that we moved to Saltepec, from where tomorrow we will go on an acclimatization ascent to the summit of La Malinche.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

Today (already yesterday - 05.11) the team "Alexandra and end" had a joyful day. We were standing on the top of the Orizaba volcano. All 15 members of the expedition who left the assault camp reached the highest point. We didn't lose anyone along the way, we went to the summit together, we came together. The weather is beautiful, the views are incredible, the goals have been achieved.

11 participants and 4 guides of the team of the 7 Summits Club made a successful ascent to the top of Orizaba, the highest volcano in North America. Leaders: Alex Abramov and Artem Rostovtsev. Another step has been taken in the "Seven Volcanoes" program. The 7 Summits Club was a pioneer in the implementation of the program of ascents to the highest volcanoes of all continents and remains a leader in this direction.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

The “Alexandra and Dot” team is almost ready for the final dash to the top of the Orizaba volcano. It remains tomorrow to have a good rest. Today we touched the glacier during an acclimatization walk. We decided to act according to the plan: tomorrow we rest, the day after tomorrow we go to the summit. It is necessary to have time to enjoy the comfort of the base camp.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

The team "Still haven't been named" reports from Mexico. We are finally on the slope of the goal of our expedition - the Orizaba volcano. Today there was a move transfer to the base camp and rest. We coped with both tasks perfectly. The problem was one - very tasty a lot and often fed. But it is also solved by a strong team. And this is exactly what we have gathered. Tomorrow we will go higher, to the glacier, look at the situation, and at the same time we will acclimatize before the decisive summit day.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

 The team "Never named themselves" climbed the volcano La Malinche at a brisk acclimatization pace. Everyone would like such a smooth, correct weather, as we had today - it wouldn't freeze and wouldn't overheat. We walked up and down in a tight group, no one ran away, we didn't lose anyone. The most tired on their return to the hotel found the strength to restorative swim in the pool. Tomorrow we will finally feel Orizaba, we will get to the Base Camp on its slope.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev reports from Mexico:

A group called "Not named yet" after a short initial acclimatization in Mexico City (2250m.n.u.m.), we moved further towards our goal - the highest volcano in North America, Mount Orizaba. On the way today we walked between the Aztec pyramids in Teotihuacan. We will spend the night next to the volcano La Malinche (4450m), where we have to climb tomorrow – so we will continue our acclimatization.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Today, on October 24, our team (all 10 people) ascended the highest volcano in America, Orizaba Peak. Hurray! We climbed at a good pace, all well done!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Hello everyone! The Los coyotes sin casas group moved to the Orizaba base camp today. It's super comfortable here. Everything is just perfectly organized. Great food, wine, toilets, lights and tents in growth. We have a lot of local guides and porters with us. Tomorrow we will move to the upper assault camp at 4600. And then the assault. The weather is perfect. The condition of the route is perfect, the team is smooth and strong.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Our team of climbers on Orizaba was named "Coyotes sin casas".  Today we climbed the Cerro Negro 4600m mountain. Everything went well, cheerfully. There is a hope that all members of the team will reach the summit of the highest volcano in North America, Mount Orizaba.

Today our team of climbers on Orizaba moved from Mexico City to the village of Zopan at an altitude of 3000m. We drove past the mountain of La Malincha and by lunch we were in a high-mountain refuge.

After lunch, we went out for a beautiful trekking through the forest to the waterfall and returned to the refuge closer to night. The whole team has become friends and happily spends the evening near the fireplace. Tomorrow, according to the plan, we will have an acclimatization ascent to the Sierra Negra Volcano with a height of 4600m.

Today, after climbing the highest volcano, we visited the smallest one in Mexico. In general, the program is completed, tomorrow the group flies home, and we are waiting for new mountains and adventures!

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Mexico:

Buenos Dias from the slopes of Orizaba!  Today, in the plans of acclimatization, the Iskorka group made a rotation to the assault camp, at the height of 4600 meters. The path ran along a rocky slope, relatively steep in places. The whole team, as one, coped. We returned to the camp, had lunch, then had dinner.  And now we are resting.  Tomorrow we are going to the assault camp, from where there will already be an exit to storm the summit of the Orizaba volcano.
