How Climbers Take on North America's Highest Volcano | National Geographic

[@NatGeo]

Pico de Orizaba is the tallest mountain in Mexico and is a popular climb for adventurers. What do you think of this daring challenge?

[@PinayAdventures]

which guide company did you use for the logistics?

[@zoeyaya9399]

@@PinayAdventures they don t answer too important

[@kellykurt8339]

A narrator would be nice, so we could focus our attention on the video.

[@Rosario_Verano]

This feeling at the end, is worth everything.

[@NatGeo]

We agree, Rosario! The end of a challenging climb is such a rewarding experience.

[@RyanSarka]

Cool footage! It reminds me of when i climbed this peak a few years ago. There's really nothing like looking out from a summit like this and knowing you made it

[@theworldhiker1]

Great video...Climbed Orizaba and Itza this last year too...fun to get to the roof of Mexico!

[@archiguru]

Went to the top of Pico de Orizaba last year, it was an amazing experience

MOTIVATION GENERATION BOOM GREAT INFORMATION AND VIDEO THANKS BE A LEGION OF GREATNESS

[@tonywestbrook9876]

Nice job. Terrific ascent. Thanks for sharing the view!

[@jtraub579]

crazy awesome, thanks National Geographic!

[@IvanDragox]

So cool, I would love to go hiking like that

[@alexsakon]

it's not hiking

[@cainotheconcernedcitizen5196]

This appeared in the latest videos section under my subscriptions.. Good stuff...

[@PantsB4Squares]

Seems moderate-advanced difficulty. Interesting why its featured on natgeo. Every year people climb much more advanced mountains. You should look into mountaineering/climbing world. You will be blown away if this video impresses you.✌

[@xpartanreach]

PantsB4Squares ikr, i climb this mountain just for training, i have even climbed a 4,600m peak that is near and the next day this one from 3,800 and i will camp at the top (5,700m) in some weeks. Where is my natgeo sponsorship?!

[@alexsakon]

alpine start is not to avoid the storms, it's to avoid loose rock falls and avalanche which happens more frequently during the day/afternoon with rising temperature.

[@pats.8511]

That’s cool and all but I’ve walked the streets of San Francisco so I have hiking experience.

[@calamity333]

thats cute

[@rickytrockclimbing2935]

The awkward hugs tho 😂

[@Saufii]

Thats 360 camera is very useful

[@chiefseadawg5164]

While Pico do Orizaba is indeed North America's highest volcano, it is not the highest mountain in North America. Alaska's Mt. McKinley) and Canada's Mt. Logan are higher. Pico do Orizaba is also considered to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. It last erupted between 1545 and 1566.

Yes yes USA always number one. Go to sleep

[@kurtlindner]

Epicest travelog

[@rhymereason3449]

Gawd I hate this new trend of "videos" that are nothing but images with captions!

[@amxmemes6700]

I wouldn’t climb that for $500,000 because I get paranoid quickly 🤷‍♂️

[@cainotheconcernedcitizen5196]

Third commentator! I've even taking the time to watch the whole video. 😂

[@autorog1234]

I want to climb it, hang glide off, parachute to water with my scuba gear on

[@pedrorivera1632]

Yes

[@holaCarolina]

Im confused at what you're thinking. There is no sea or body of water near by to scuba dive. Or do you mean, drive to the nearest sea (that is about 5-6 hrs away by car), then parachute and dive?

[@autorog1234]

holaCarolina i dont know whats at the bottom of this volcano, just an adventure thought

[@holaCarolina]

autorog1234 But, the video just said that Mexico city is nearby. Maybe I took it too seriously because I have a friend who does those activities in Mexico frequently.

[@lightningamezlxg3646]

Oh so that’s how it’s done thanks

[@nevertrustacolour5618]

That body gives me the creeps

[@powerpuffgirl6412]

please make a video on Mount St. Helens

[@arehay]

Shame on you for not hiking to base camp.

[@Zzeo7]

Looks like you guys need a new editer or creative director.. ill do it for free!

[@erikjanssen2940]

First

[@aileraguilar3976]

Lol it's north America because it's the highest. That's like more because Mexico is part of North America
