Gear needed to summit Pico de Orizaba

 

Here’s a list of the gear you will need if you hike Pico de Orizaba with us. Some we provide for you, some you will have to bring, and some you can rent from us 🙂

As you can see, we provide all technical and common gear so you don’t have to carry it all the way to the mountain,  and only worry about your personal mountain clothes, and if you don’t want to, we can rent them to you (subject to availability).

Rental prices are for each mountain
