Here Diego with an update from the Ecuadorian volcanoes. We were in our base camp at Antisana. we took a hike up to the base of the glacier and we did some practice Allthe different pieces of equipment and practice rope travel, self arrest, a whole bunch of different skills and, we came back and had a delicious meal made by our whole team of cooks here, so we’re all doing well here in and pretty well fed. And we are going to take a rest day tomorrow, we’ll have the entire day to just kinda sort-out our equipment and let our legs rest up after so much activity, We were ready for our summit night, basically the night of our rest day so we’ll be hanging out, and the weather conditions in Antisana change during the night and was not possible to do the summit.

Yesterday we move close to Cayambe mountain and to day We go up to the refuge to try to climb during the night
