Mexico Volcanoes: Team checks in from Altzomoni Hut

Elevation: 12,000'

Buenas tardes from refugio "Altzomoni" at the feet of Ixtaccihuatl. We are pre-packing as we speak for our move to high camp tomorrow. After our hike up "la Malinche" yesterday, we had an easy day today; on our drive to Amecameca, (Where we bought food for Ixta climb with the highlight being fresh handmade corn tortillas.) We were able to see our objective between the clouds from the road. The skies closed up and fog reigns now at our hut. We'll keep you posted tomorrow of our progress. Best regards from 12,000'!!!
