PHOTO 3: The third photo is your first view of the summit of Malinche. You hike through forest up some decent eroding terrain to get to there. It took me about an hour or an hour and 10 minutes to get there (moving at a good clip). Basically, you come out of the woods and BAM, there she is. There are 2 summits, the one on the left is what you are heading for (take not of the ridgeline). At first glimpse, the one on the right looks higher, but its not. I also heard there is a ton of loose rock on the one on the right. I was planning on going up it after the main summit, but some bad weather came in.
