I set out to climb Pico de Orizaba, also known as Citlaltépetl or Iztactépetl. It is a stratovolcano that rises to 5636 m / 18,491 feet above sea level. It is the highest mountain in Mexico and third highest in North America. The volcano sits on the border between the states of Puebla and Veracruz. Although dormant the volcano is not extinct and last erupted in 1846.

Fantastica ascensione una montagna terrificante e spaventosa, vi ha messo a dura prova ma siete arrivati in cima .In un luogo di grandi spazi e dimensioni surreale ma con un gruppo di tanta amicizia e lealtà si arriva a toccare la volta del mondo. Complimenti ragazzi ...Massimo da Sora ciociaria.

Remember climbing this back in the 80s, nothing technical but the acclimatisation was brutal with some members of the team suffering with mountain sickness, glad to get back down after we’d done it. Amazing being oboe the clouds though

It does seem to be a mountain that people underestimate in terms of acclimatization! Higher than Everest Base Camp :) The view is great for sure. I particularly enjoyed looking down the crater!

Fantastic drone shots, pictures, and great climbing footage and all around excellent description of the conditions to climb Pico de Orizaba! What organization did you use to climb Orizaba?

Thanks David! I used www.summitorizaba.com/ and was very pleased. I would give some advice. I stranded in the Puebla bus station and had to take a cab two hours to get to Tlachichuca. So check the schedule. And if you have experience with mountaineering then ask for a fit guide who can match your pace :)

congrats!! amazing footage - when did you do it?

@michaanio9216 6 месяцев назад

a good movie. Do you think it is possible to complete this route solo? whether there were any technical difficulties

@rasmuspreston 3 месяца назад

Thank you! I wouldn't advice going alone unless you are an experienced mountaineer. The glacier is steep and there is always a risk of falling in a crevasse.

Great Vid Ras. I climbed Pico with Larry - in early Jan last year and there was a lot more snow than it looked in your climb. That refuge hut was one of the noisiest I've been in for sure!

@rasmuspreston Год назад

Thanks Jeremy! It was all bone dry when I was there in February. I have never been so dusty as when we got back haha. But yeah, the hut doesn't deserve 3 stars after that night haha. Had maybe 2-3 hours of bad sleep. I think it is worse than the hut on Rainier!

Awesome video man, i like the relaxt vibe in your video's keep it up!

@rasmuspreston Год назад

Thank you so much. Really happy you liked it. There are just so many hyped up people on RU-vid, and that's not me. So I am a little nervous about that. Will my videos do well without the hyper positive personality etc. Your comment made my day :)
