The CTSS July Ecuador Volcanoes is wrapping up!

The team is now all back down and out of the mountains and many of the crew are already on their way home. After great success on Cotopaxi last week the final climb of the trip, Chimborazo, proved to hold more challenging conditions. Waking very early yesterday morning the team got sorted for their climb. Despite leaving early and putting in a strong effort snow conditions at higher elevations ended up not being safe enough to give the team another summit. After making the call to turn around the team descended through high camp and all the way back to the jeeps. A few hours drive time put them back in Quito resting and celebrating a fantastic expedition.

It was exciting to have such a great crew of climbers exploring Ecuador over the last two weeks. With another great trip in the bag we’re already turning our eyes towards the 2022 fall Ecuador expedition November 5-15. Is Ecuador your next expedition?

Congratulations to our Ecuador climbers on a fantastic expedition!!!

Cheers,
