Ecuador Volcanoes Team Vacavengers Reach Veintimilla Summit on Chimborazo!

 

Hello from Ecuador. All team members climbed to the Veintimilla summit (20,561 feet) on Chimborazo. Congratulations!!! They started their ascent at about midnight and after 6 hours  of sustained climbing reached this summit. However, a lenticular cloud, stationed at the top of the mountain made things more complicated for them so they decided not to go for the Whymper summit. They are traveling back to Quito today and looking forward to enjoying a farewell dinner in the Ecuadorian capital city. The Vacavengers are feeling happy for their mountaineering accomplishmets on Cayambe, Antisana, and Chimborazo. Congratulations again on a successful trip!!!
They send their best to family and friends.
Keep climbing Vacavengers!! You are good at it!
