Mexico 2022

Boris Egorov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Mexico: 

And we continue to warm up on the rocks in the Northern part of Mexico. We came to El Potrero Chico precisely because there are a huge number of multi-pitches (long climbing routes).  And this is exactly what you need to work out the interaction on the wall and develop strength endurance.   Yesterday we quickly climbed a rather long route of 12 pitches. Alexey was in the lead all the way, and the guides only served the delays and enjoyed the views like tourists. After the descent, we decided to run to a small tower before the pile, it looks like we have a solid collection of such rock "spires". At this point, we believe that the preparation is over and we have a whole day of flights and transfers to get to the canyon with a big rock walls.

Boris Egorov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Mexico: 

Hello everyone from Mexico! A new adventure has begun, prepared especially for Alexey Sivkov and Zhenya Lesnitsky. We were going to climb the big wall again, in an adult way, with overnight stays in suspended platforms and with huge trunks, which we ourselves will drag up on ropes. But we will have it all in a few days, and in the meantime we are warming up on the rocks of the El Potrero chico massif. This is the most famous rock climbing area of Mexico, located near the city of Monterey. Guides Boris Egorov and Vladimir Murzaev.

Group guide Lyubov Ivanova:  Hello everyone! This is Lyubov Pershina from Mexico.  The 7 Summits Club Group, “Ascent on Orizaba” program. Today, on January 5, we climbed the mountain Cofra de Peroto. The height is 4280 meters. The ascent was very pleasant, beautiful and quite fast. Despite the diversity of the group, we all got up very cheerfully - less than four hours.   We sat on the top, took pictures and went down in two and a half hours. In the evening we arrived at the Zaapan shelter, our hotel. And tomorrow we will move very slowly and calmly to base camp 4200.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year from North America! A group of five participants is located somewhere in the vastness of Mexico on the way to the highest volcano on the continent - Orizaba Peak (5636 m). On the way to the volcanoes, they get to know Mexico, its culture, history and, of course, gastronomy. The guide Lyubov Ivanova, an expert on Mexico, an ethnographer and an expert on ancient Indian culture, helps them to immerse themselves in the culture of the country.

  The team members walked around the historic center of Mexico City and the colorful Santo Angel district. They walked through the streets of colonial Puebla, the capital of the eponymous state of Mexico. And of course, they visited the largest pyramid in the world, Cholula. This pyramid with a cathedral on top against the background of volcanoes is one of the most photographed places in Mexico.
