This is the view on the descent. The refugio is the obvious rectangular structure below, and the well-traveled section of trail is visible on the center-left. This is taken below the confusing section.

The incredible sunrise shadow of Citlaltepetl, as seen from ~17,500' on the Jamapa Glacier
A guide and his client. This is a good representation of the steepness of the route.
The Jamapa Glacier from its base
This photo is taken from the Northwest. The yellow "S" is the Sarcofago, and the red dotted line represents the trail of tracks I followed to the summit in Nov 2006. It essentially follows the ridge, but the ridge is very broad, so it could be easy to wander if visibility is poor. The refugio is in the valley behind the sarcofago.
THE BERGSHRUND!
Traverse of the crater rim. The conditions on the rim vary between ok snow to gravel to rock. The rock outcropping to the left is the top of el Pulpito. The summit is the high point in the center of the photo.
The rocks up ahead are the crux of the circumnavigation of the crater rim. The snow was crummy on this day (Mid October 2020)
