Marko Pavela: Adventures south of the border.
Olympia Mountaineer Marko Pavela will share stories from recent adventures in Mexico. In 2015 Pavela flew to Mexico alone, for a climb of Pico de Orizaba. Pavela found himself back in Mexico in 2017, this time with friends. Objectives included a descent of the Chorreadero, an underground river canyon/cave that descends 1000’ and requires multiple rappels, and jumps, to exit. The party also spent 4 days packrafting the Rio La Venta, camping on the river’s sandy banks, navigating whitewater hazards, and taking in fantastic sites like the Arco del Tiempo. Pavela aspires to inspire and will offer insights into planning self supported international adventures, and beginner packrafting and cayoneering as well.
