Climbing Mexico's Volcanos

On January 10, 2001 the Gruppo Alpino Tres Amigos consisting of Chris Keller, Shawn Boom and myself, Nels Johnson, gathered in Mexico City to climbing the 3rd (El Pico De Orizaba, 18,408 ft.) and 5th (Iztaccihuatl, 17,159 ft..) highest peaks in Norte Americano. We all successfully summitted El Pico de Orizaba.
