Hi Everyone,

The team just checked in from High Camp on Orizaba where the sun is just setting and they’re settling down for a short night ahead of their summit bid tomorrow.

They’ll be up at 4 am to start climbing and while it’s fairly windy up there for them right now, we are hoping it blows itself out overnight and quietens down tomorrow. The snow coverage is good so it should be nice climbing. About -5 degrees with them currently

After they hit the summit, they’ll drop back down to High Camp, pack up the tents, and come all the way down to the hut at the base before heading back to the regional hotel for a celebratory dinner and a well-earned beverage (or two)

The next morning it will be onward to Mexico city and their respective flights home.

Fingers crossed for a wonderful summit day tomorrow.

Cheers

Caroline
