This Ecuador Expedition has been about pulling rabbits out of hats and the team are doing a magic job! First we had Cotopaxi closed with volcanic activity and the team rolled with it with summits of Illiniza Norte and Illiniza Sur

A stable weather window in an otherwise dismal forecast saw the team take the opportunity today to skip their night at the mountain hut at Cayambe and make a run at the summit. Strong, willing and acclimatized they hit the top of at 7am this morning! Congratulations to all our climbers.

Tonight they are staying at Puerto Lago which is a nice hotelria just South of Otavalo.

Tomorrow they will be back on the regular itinerary and heading to the hot springs at Papallacta to celebrate their summits.

Cheers
CTSS Team
