| nicstandaert | Day trip from Mexico City  Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2009 | |
| I left the hostel in Mexico city early and reached the Pico de Aguila succesfully. Thanks to the five scouts from Coyoacan and the mountain dog showing me the way and the two Mexican hikers that gave me a ride back to the capital! It was clouded going up but once at the top I had some good views of the surrounding hills now and then. Great day trip although it took me a while to get there by public transport. | |

| ewakild | Route Climbed: Variation to Northeast Ridge Date Climbed: Oct. 22, 2005 | |
| Followed directions on Northeast Ridge site by theshadowofthehills - it was easy to get to the flat field he described (called Cabana CantinFlora by our cab driver). Tried to find the path of least resistance up the mountains, and ended up on the ridge, west of Ajusco. Very windy up high, which made it cold - come prepared. Beautiful views of DF and Popo-Izta - very little smog. If you have time in the city, this is well worth the trip. | ||

| It is Close México City, It´s a nice place for camping, the more top the name is "Pico del Aguila", down their be one "albergue" for sleep, it´s so cheap. The experience is good for beginners. | ||

| Pretty straightforward climb, although it took me a while since I did it after a grueling 40-km hike at around 10,000 ft. sponsored by CEMAC, the local equivalent of the Mountaineers. It's a great acclimatization hike, since altitude is really the only limiting factor and the vertical gain gives you a pretty good workout. Unfortunately, when I got to the top the Valley of Mexico was completely clouded/smogged over, so there was really no reward besides a new altitude record. | |

| went to UNAM with a good friend (again a non-climber) and managed to convince him to drive up and have a look at Ajusco. We wandered through the forest and part way up the trail until his waning desire gave out and I was forced to abort a summit that was easily in striking distance. Again, will rectify this minus the non-climber very soon. | |
