More snow
Once again, the mountain trilogy climb we had planed for this weekend didn’t took place for different reasons. Nevertheless, yesterday my friends (Gil, Serch, Loco, Arturo, Lucio) and I enjoyed another amazing day at the snowy Iztaccíhuatl.
Each of us climbed at a different pace. I made the summit alone after 5 hours 13 minutes of climbing. Those who know me (or read this blog) will know that this wasn’t one of my best times, but it was good enough if we take into account the amount of snow currently in the mountain.
I spent 2 hours at the summit, waiting for any of my friends to arrive but that didn’t happen. Instead I climbed down and met them along the route.
After a quick lunch at Ayoloco hut, we continued the descent during a beautiful sunset and until the night caught us. We enjoyed a clear sky, a waxing gibbous moon and lots of stars for the rest of the adventure
