Orizaba - true height?
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 3:37 pmI've seen it quoted as 5611m and 5746m. I'd be surprised if the latter were correct. Anyone know the truth?

Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 2:52 amI just got back from Orizaba. After a stationary 10 minutes, my GPS leveled out at 18,512. It had a view of 7+ satelites, and the reading was pretty stationary +/- 8 feet or so before it leveled out.
Maybe this helps.
