CLASSIC ASCENT
I Z T A C C Í H U A T L
Medium-high condition
Description
This ascent starts at 01:00 am to see the sunrise at the top of the volcano, either on the knee (first summit) or on the belly (second summit). This ascent is more exciting since much of the ascent is carried out at night aided by headlamps and special thermal clothing for low temperatures. It is an ascent that demands greater physical and psychological resistance due to the climatic conditions to which you will be exposed during the ascent.
