Orizoba still keeping the secret

For over half a century, seven men who were climbing the north face of the Peak of Orizaba (Mexico) at a height of 5.300 meters, suffered an avalanche of snow and four of the group disappeared in it. The bodies were never found, but this week, a group of mountaineers that were crossing the area, found two of the four corpses that might be of those who disappeared 56 years ago (except if the DNA test says the otherwise).


The expedition of the City of Mexico found last Sunday one of the corpses by chance. One of the members of the expedition was climbing a crater when suddenly, slipped and fell. In this moment, he saw something round and he thought that it was a coconut, but it turn to be a skull. The mountaineers announced the discovery in the social networks and they warned to the Red Cross. The picture that they take of the head and one arm of the mummy was very successful and the Mexican Association of Mountaineers began to move quickly for exhume the mummy. Then, the second corpse was discovered hugging the first. They also found a red jumper, a jacket and a bag: remains of the expedition. 
Luis Espinoza, one of the seven men that were climbing the peak that November of 1959, still have a picture of that same day at the foot of the mountain where later, four of his friends would be missing until now. In the picture, we can see one of the group dressed in a red jumper. 
After almost a live, two of the members of his group had been found but two bodies still missing: the mountain still keeping the secret.
