"Left camp at 1am under clear skies and warmer than expected temps. Quite a few fellow climbers heading for the mountain, but it was a Saturday… The labyrinth was truly a maze and I was thankful we had a local guide. Once we hit the glacier it was still 3.5 hours to get up the slippery devil. Hit summit at 9, what views!" — oregon-mt-goat • Feb 19, 2022

"Climb of the knees from high camp then the long traverse to Ixta summit. 7 hours round trip, very hard climb. Popo was visible most of the morning and is such a dominating feature." — oregon-mt-goat • Feb 16, 2022

"Good stretch the legs and lungs hike up through La Malinche Park. Turned around just shy of 13,000 ft by the park officials since the summit was socked in with heavy clouds. But still an enjoyable walk and loved seeing all the local families out getting into nature. No better way to spend a Sunday." — oregon-mt-goat • Feb 13, 2022

"Bruce and Alex made the 1st summit at 17,066 across the glacier that was treacherous in late May with black ice and marbly stones. Pemba made it to the stomach. Vicente could've gone all the way but stayed with me on the south summit at 16,540 feet where I hunkered down on the ground next to the ruins of camp 2 because the wind was brutally threatening to take me off of my feet. This is a tough objective and also one of the best days of my life." — wendyglitterhippie • May 30, 2019

"Was wondering why there is no logged summits though it's very accessible in terms of distance. Driving to a "trailhead" (service road continuation on E side), realized that most likely whenever they film slum area(s) of Tijuana, they do it there: run down houses, "interesting" looks, a rolled over and burnt car. Too bad didn't make any photos. After talking to a Uber driver, gave it up. On the way back, got passed by rushing 10-12 police cars and 4 ambulances. " — alexp • Dec 7, 2018
