Mexico’s Volcanoes: King & Team at Ixta’s High Camp

February 21, 2017

Posted by: Mike King, Christina Dale

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mexico

Elevation: 15,500'

We are all nestled in at our high camp on Ixta at 15,500ft. The team carried heavy packs while taking in the amazing vistas with a cool breeze keeping the temperature manageable. We will plan on getting an early start for our summit bid so the team can pack up camp and descend into the rest day and tacos al pastor that awaits us in Puebla. Getting to the top of Ixta is just another step in acclimating for our chance at standing on top of Pico de Orizaba, the third highest peak in North America. Everyone is doing well and sends their best back home. RMI Guide Mike King
