Mexico’s Volcanoes: Hailes & Team Recap Summit Day

January 27, 2018

Posted by: Walter Hailes, Jessie Poquerusse

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mexico

After a 1 am sharp departure, climbers topped out on the Roof of Mexico just after 8:30am, the ascent lit by alpenglow and spiced up by loose rock near the summit. After half an hour admiring the steep summit crater and a quick descent in deep sandy “polvo” (dust/dirt), we all reunited at camp for our long descent back down and reflections over dinner at Dr.Reyes’ in Tlachichuca. What a circuitously adventurous week, and what a phenomenally engaged team of climbers. RMI Guides Walter Hailes, Jessie Poquerusse & the fantastic Mexico volcanoes team
