Volcanoes of Ecuador Team 4 Gets Started

 

Hi everyone!
Wishing you all had a very happy holiday season! Alpine Ascents climbers arrived to Ecuador and started their trip visiting the Colonial District of Quito and hiking on Ruco Pichincha volcano and the Papallacta lakes. They are all coping well with the altitude. They are enjoying the comforts of the hot springs resort located in the Ecuadorian cloud forest. The six team members will attempt Cayambe, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. Four of them will stay a few more days in Ecuador in order to climb Antisana.
Melanie, John, Travis, Steven, Chris and Alex send their best to family and friends!
Stay tuned. More soon!
