Our climbing season on Orizaba begins. The first group of the 7 Summits Club began their program with the pyramids
The 7 Summits Club Guide Olya Rumyantseva reports from Mexico:
Greetings to everyone from Mexico, where we are beginning the climbing season on Orizaba! Today, the first large group, with the very Mexican name "Axolotl," began their journey to the summit of North America's highest volcano. We began our journey by exploring Mexico's most famous pyramids—the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon in the ancient city of Teotihuacan. Or rather, we tried to begin with a hot air balloon ride over the pyramids. But, alas. There was fog all morning, so the flights were canceled. And those balloonists who did manage to take off saw nothing but fog. We weren't too upset; we did some exercises with the hot air balloons as a backdrop, and then went for a walk around the pyramids and listened to amazing stories. Later in the evening we moved to the La Malinche volcano, which we will visit tomorrow for acclimatization.
