At 24h last night (6am our time this morning) the guys were up and getting ready for the summit of Cotopaxi, standing 5897m, the worlds highest active volcano. Rated as a beginners' level of alpine mountaineering, weather conditions and altitude can still turn this volcano into a tough job. Refuge
Jose Ribas sits at 4800m, a popular spot since this mountain is probably the most popular one to be climbed in Equador. Tim's had the shits for the last 2 days.. pills have not done a great job stopping it so hopefully he's feeling good and is there with Bram climbing this morning. Now being out for 2-3 hours, they should have reached good altitude already, if conditions are favourable. Brigitte will hopefully get a summit call, as soon as I have news I'll post it !! Stay tuned....
