The Ecuador team has made it back to Quito after a great few days in the mountains. Early Sunday morning they set off for the Summit of Cayambe, but unfortunately weather moved in and the summit wasn’t in the cards that day. Still, the team put in a super effort, pushed as high on the mountain as possible, and made a great call to come down when the conditions began to deteriorate.

After their attempt on Cayambe it was off to the hot springs at Papallacta! A fantastic reward after over a week of acclimatizing and pushing hard in the mountains.

Tomorrow our team members on the normal itinerary will fly home, while those going for the Chimborazo extension will head south out of Quito and climb to high camp on Chimbo tomorrow afternoon.

Nice work all around!
