WE’RE BACK!

It’s an exciting time as we welcome back our CTSS climbing community with our first international expedition in almost a year in Ecuador.

CTSS Lead Guide Aaron arrived a week early to recce mountain conditions with CTSS Lead Ecuadorian Guide Edgar and earned the nickname the ‘American Machine’ for beating the sun to the summit! Things are looking great.

Yesterday & today, the team all arrived safely in Quito and spent the day settling in, doing gear checks and briefings, doing an Old Town Tour and stopping by The Equator.

Tomorrow they leave Quito and head up high with an acclimatization hike of Passachoa, then up towards Cotopaxi.

From there, they’ll hit Cayembe and then some will continue on to Chimborazo. 3 spectacular volcanoes in under 2 weeks in one of our favourite climbing spots in the world.

Everyone is strong, prepared and excited to be back in the mountains (albeit with a robust covid protocol in place!)

Cheers
CTSS Team
