Just wanted to hear from those of you that have been in the area.

We are planning a trip this next year and want to know the best options for getting the base of some of the mountains in the Arequipa area. Private transport is preferred and we are willing to pay more to get more. By that I mean we want something reliable and honest.

Our plans are to hit some of the area ...

Pico de Orizaba equipment ?

Does anyone have experience with, or advice concerning aluminum crampons on the glacier? My wife (130lbs.) has a pair of Grivel aluminum 12 points. They have served well on Colorado spring snow climbs, and she like the idea of the lower weight.
Reading trip reports on Orizaba in late Feb we see a wide range of beta on the ice conditions. We plan to summit on Feb 16th. "Si Dios quiere"
Thanks
Martin

Ixta Partners March 28-31

I'm planning on visiting a friend in Mexico City probably from March 20-27. I'd like to climb Ixta following that if I can find a partner. I think this time of the year is approaching pretty close to the wet season, but I'd like to give it a go if conditions seem safe.
