Los Volcanes De Mexico!
For November 2006, AMG sent me on a trip to climb 2 large volcanoes in Mexico: Pico de Orizaba (18,405 ft) and Izta (17,126 ft). Orizaba is the highest mountain in Mexico and the third highest in all of North America (1.Denali 2.Logan 3.Orizaba). Here are a few pics from the trip....

Chris + waking up at 3am to summit Izta = not too excited
