CTSS Lead Guide Edgar Parra and our Ecuador team have had a truly productive start to their trip!

Over the last few days they’ve visited the Equator, hiked Ruminahui – an extinct volcano extending above 15,000 feet – and completed their snow school on the lower slopes of Cotopaxi.

Today they are moving to the a hut on Cotopaxi at 15,200 feet in preparation for tonights summit climb. We wish them the best of luck as they go for the first big summit of the trip!
