100% Summit Success!!!

Congratulations to our Ecuador team! Despite some tough weather including wind and low visibility our team in Ecuador had an excellent climb of Cotopaxi today. Starting early this morning they pushed up from the refuge through the clouds for a successful summit. It is always exciting to have the entire team on top, well done!

The team has now descended back to the Hut, packed up their gear and are all resting by the hot springs in Papallacta a few hours drive from Cotopaxi national park. After days of dealing with tough weather you cant ask for a better celebration of a successful summit.

After resting in Papallacta some of the team will be flying home tomorrow while our Chimborazo extension climbers ramp back into climbing mode and head back to the mountains.

Chimborazo (20,549 ft) is the highest volcano in Ecuador as well as one of Ecuador’s most coveted climbing objectives. We’re hoping for great weather as our team moves to high camp and eyes a summit bid over the next two days.

Strong work team and best of luck on Chimborazo!

Cheers,

CTSS Team
