What it takes to climb Mexico's highest volcano | Pico de Orizaba 5,636m 

The way down was brutal :) Please share and subscribe if you enjoyed the video

Your moment with the guy smoking a cig is the most Mexican thing ever. I could feel Mexico right there!. Amazing that you guys made it.

I'm glad that you guys enjoyed your adventure, and I'm also glad that you got to understand some of the complexities of Mexico. It surely can depress you at times, and sometimes it really makes you want to run far far away. But there's two sides to the same coin, and the other one is full of light, and places and experiences like these, that remind you how beautiful it can be. After 2 yrs of lockdown in Mexico City, I found solace in hiking and mountaineering, and I guess I'm lucky to have such amazing volcanoes at less than 3 hours from home. I'm just about to do my first attempt to Iztaccihuatl this weekend, after summiting Nevado de Toluca and La Malinche. Let's see what happens. I'm glad that you guys made it to both summits. In the end common sense, being a conscious, respectful traveller, and not venturing alone into some places is what keeps you away from danger. Having said that, don´t try Popo, because Don Goyo is constantly erupting, and being stuck up there during an eruption is very bad news, of course. A girl just died a couple months ago during such an event.

Great video that really shows the reality of that climb. I made it to the glacier in about 3:40 and was done in by altitude and my legs giving out. I couldn't really breathe well and could barely stand. I'd recommend to anyone doing this climb to get the fitness up and try to get more than a couple days above 10k ft/3k meters if you can. Hoping to be back very soon. By the way, I never encountered unsafe conditions in Mexico and have been all over as a gringo for almost 20 years. The people are all so friendly and nice and I feel much safer there than in my hometown of NYC.

The shadow of the mountain was simply beautiful. I could feel your struggle, if Viv says that it's hard, then it's hard. Good job man!

This is so inspiring. Amazing footage and kudos to both of you for summiting. WOW! This one's on my list. Thanks for the video!

Solid and cheers! Thanks for creating this video. I'm looking forward to climbing Orizaba in the near future.

thank you for this video. i love volcanoes and always wanted to climb one but never have. thank you and congrats.

Great journey to Orizaba's Peak, what a challenge,great video as well. I am learning a lot with your video.

Thanks for sharing the beauty of the Mexican volcanoes!

Welcome to Mexico, and come again, from Puebla with love!! ❤️

This was beyond unbelievable! What a monstrous mountain!!! Very well done!

Great job!

Massive bro!!!

Great video! Me and my friend were one of the teams that went up after you that night! If you remember, we actually slept in the cabin just below you at the hut. Anyways, congratulations on the summit. We hope to attempt it again in November!

Amazing

Congratulations guys. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A guys great video , I am actually in your video at minute 4:55 ( guy with beanie ) you summitt a day before . Glad you enjoy your trip to my country .

14:36 Mmm Krispy Kremes, great video!

Third highest peak in North America just behind Mt Logan and Mt Denali, really really impressive

Amazing. Congrats on making it to the summit and sharing your beautiful adventure. How did you prepare for this challenge? I am thinking about attempting it in November. Wonder how the ice and the terrain will be.

What time of year did you climb? I’m going the first week of October at end of the rainy season. I’m wondering how much ice vs snow I’ll be encountering.

Do you also plan on climbing the third highest mountains in the other continents(Kangchenjunga,Monte Pissis,Mount Shkhara,Mawenezi Peak,Trikora Peak/Mount Twynam, & Mount Shinn) or just Orizaba?

The shadow casting is sick

Hello there. What time of the year did you summit and such side of the mountain?

Very nice! What camera did you use? I will do the climb in January!

which camera did you use to record? Quality looks great

Nice Video i really enjoyed watching this.Did you say that you were four nights for acclimatization in the shelter ?

Congrat i made it in 1998 in snowboard scary but magic

I’m from cordoba and my house was in front of a plain view to the mountain….. that’s literally the only thing I miss form there

2:08 I would have been uncomfortable if they asked me that,but I don't blame foreigners who think that about Mexico.

I thinh that is not advisible to use climbing rope on Jamapa Glacier.

Nobody should be allowed up there. The last glacier is in danger every human there disrupts the process of conversation.
