| Ascending the 5636m Orizaba |
Pico de Orizaba was another great adventure. It started with an email from my friend Mark Angelos. Mark planned to make a ski movie on the slopes of the 5,636 meters (18,491 ft) volcano, the third highest peak in North America. Andre and I decided to join the dream team just a week before departure. It soon become clear that we didn’t all share the same dream, so we agreed to split in two: Andre and I would have an independent summit bid in our trademarked fast-and-cold style, and Mark and Austin would haul up heavy camera equipment and take some killer footage. If weather and conditions were favorable we agreed to help with the movie effort. We never did.
