Summit Success!!!

Hello friends and family!  We arrived back in Mexico City on Saturday the 26th after successful summits of two Mexico Volcanoes.  Saturday afternoon was spent poolside at our hotel.  Our last dinner in Mexico was nothing short of spectacular!  Sunday morning we woke early, had a huge breakfast and hit the town.  Time was short, but we were able to visit both the historic district as well as a local market place.  We will be back stateside by 7:00PM MST on Sunday evening.  Pictures of the entire trip will be coming soon!

Thanks for all the support!

Summit Day Success!

All 10 climbers summitted Iztaccihuatl around 8 am this morning!  The team is headed back to Tlachichuca for the night.  Tomorrow (Thursday) they will head to Pico de Orizaba and set their next camp at about 13,943 ft.  They are hoping to summit on Friday morning.

 Izta is a massive Volcano!
