The CTSS Ecuador team is celebrating a very successful climb of Cotopaxi, 100% of the team reached the summit early this morning.

Congratulations!!!

Cotopaxi is a tough climb, especially considering you’re climbing to above 19,000 feet after being in at altitude for less than a week.

Tonight they’re taking a well earned rest in the historical La Cienega hotel – one of the oldest buildings in the region. Tomorrow they’ll drive to Cayambe for a rest day and begin focusing on their next objective.
