Hi Fortmyers-b,
I will be climbing Orizaba in mid March. I am flying out of Arizona on the 13th-14th of March and returning on the 19th to the 21st of March. Let me know if these dates work for you.

Climbed it 2/22/14. Fri - Base camp outside the hut by the yellow hut + acclimation climb to 16,300. Sat - 7 am start. Summit 1 p.m. Base camp 4 pm. R/T = 4 Miles. Conditions were excellent. We brought 2 screws, 2 pickets and 90 ft rope. Did not use any of it. Although, screws would help depending which chute you ascend. The labyrinth is very fun and consists of steep blue ice, mixed and less steep styrofoamy snow. The Jampa Glacier was also styrofoamy. No post holing and no slips throughout the entire climb. Snow starts around 15,500. Beginning is scree. There are different paths but they all lead to the same place. Enjoy! It's an awesome climb!


Return to Mexico, Central America and Caribbean
