The Alpine Athletics Ecuador Volcanoes trip took an adventurous hike today in the unremitting moody weather!
The team postponed their snow school due to rain and wind and opted to walk to the Refugio Cotopaxi, a quaint mountain hut tucked just below the glacier level in Cotopaxi National Park. After a trek through the clouds, they’ve settled in for the evening and are looking forward to snow school and summits this weekend.
Our guide reports the team is acclimatizing well. We are continuing to send our support and encouragement to the entire team!
