[PROJ] What is the syntax for a vertical datum change?

Hello:
Continuing with the attempt to change from ellipsoidal heights to
orthometric heights. I executed the instruction:

echo 578174.247 3593725.312 1295.083 2010.0 | cct +proj=pipeline +step +inv
+proj=utm +zone=11 +ellps=WGS84 +step +proj=utm +zone=11 +ellps=WGS84
+proj=vgridshift +grids=/nubes/geoides/GGM10_GEO.gtx
  578174.2470   3593725.3120     1295.0830     2010.0000

But there is no change in heights. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong,
please?

The file GGM10_GEO.gtx is the Mexican Gravimetric Geoid of 2010.
I don't know what the current era of the ellipsoid would be, for this
reason I assumed one: 2010.0
