On Tuesday we set out on our summit attempt on Cotopaxi but, like on Cayambe, the strong winds forced us to turn around. This time we reached an altitude of 17,720 ft.
Yesterday we travelled from the Cotopaxi National Park to Riobamba, where we spent the night at the the cozy Abraspungo Hostelry.
Today we left the comfort of Abraspungo and drove with our bus up to the hut on Chimborazo. From there, we hiked 2 hours to Stübel Camp where we set up our tents and prepared for the climb of Chimborazo, the highest mountain in Ecuador.
The team members are looking forward to the climb and say hello to family and friends.
