Ecuador Volcanoes Team “ROUGHING IT” Climbs Chimborazo.

 

Hi everyone!

Team members Eric and Andrew took the team’s flag to the Veintimilla summit on Chimborazo (6,267 m / 20,561 ft)! It was a cold and windy night and morning. The Alpine Ascents climbers braved the adverse weather for several hours and were rewarded by attaining what is for now the highest summit of their climbing careers. Big congrats!!

All team members are safely back to the Ecuadorian capital Quito. They had a farewell dinner last night and will be taking their flights back home today. Very nice meeting you.

Safe travels and climb on!
