“TEAM MUSKA BEARDS” SUMMITS CAYAMBE!!! 100 % SUMMIT SUCCESS!

 

Hello family and friends! Happy to announce that all team members summited Cayambe! Chuck, Peter and Tristan are doing well and they say that they were really impressed by the beauty of the mountain and the views from up there. The itinerary allowed them an optimal acclimatization and they took advantage of the great weather, snow conditions and a windless night and morning to summit the third highest mountain in Ecuador: Cayambe (5,789 m/18,993 ft.), the only place on Earth where the latitude and temperature are both 0 degrees. Big congrats to the team!!! They sent some pictures from the climb for everybody to enjoy. They are off to Cotopaxi now! Thanks for following!
