Approaching the summit (Photo: Phil Ershler)
Another good day in Ecuador and another good summit for the team. Greg Vernovage called in this morning to report the team reached the summit in good conditions. A bit of tricky route finding to cross the bergschrund just below the summit but Ecuadorian guide, Romulo Cardenas, did a super job with this, as usual.
They’re already back to the refugio and thinking about the hot springs tonight in Papallacta. A well-deserved bit of luxury after a long day.
