Pico De Orizaba: climbing Mexicos highest peak

Pico De Orizaba Mexicos Highest peak. Thursday 2am we were out of the hut and on our way. Making our way up through a maze of rock scree and snow to the base of the Jamapa Glacier. There are very few crevasses Im told on Pico De Orizaba. At the base of the Glacier where we were getting our crampons on and roping up my climbing partner threw his Ice Axe Down to lodge it into the snow. In stead of making a typical snow striking sound it made a loud reverberating hallow thud.. What I deducted from this was that we were on top of a large void under the Ice. Luckily it held up and we got our gear on and out of there. video: Rob Wessels picodeorizaba mexico climbing,
