Acclimatization on Iztaccíhuatl volcano

Iztaccíhuatl (aka: Izaccihuatl, Izta, Ixta) is the third highest mountain in Mexico, and the seventh highest in North America. The name means "White woman" in the Nahuatl language. When viewing the snow covered mountain from the west, distinct peaks resemble the head, chest, knees and feet. Iztaccíhuatl is connected by the Paso de Cortés to the active volcano Popocatépetl (Popo). On February 13, 2024 we started on the standard route named La Arista del Sol (Ridge of the Sun). To spend more time acclimatizing at higher elevations, we decided to split the climb between two days and camp at 4,700 meters. On this route, we stood on 6 named peaks: Primera Rodilla (5,047m), Segundo Rodilla (5,074m), Monte de Venus (5108m), Pena Ordonez (5,119m), and two named Iztaccíhuatl (5,200m and 5215m). Our GPS elevations (in brackets) differed from topo map elevations, but the commonly accepted elevation of Iztaccíhuatl is a 5,230 meters. This was our second acclimatization summit in preparation for Pico de Orizaba (5,564m). Our first acclimatization hike was Volcan La Malinche (4,430m).
