After getting shut-down on Cotopaxi (weather) and Cayambe (avalanche hazard) and Illiniza Norte yesterday (thunder & lightning), Greg reports that the team gave Illiniza Norte another try today and summited at 10:30am this morning! Not a bad way to celebrate Romulo’s 50th birthday!
Illiniza Norte & Sur
They’re back at the hut that sits in the saddle between Illiniza Norte and Illiniza Sur having an early (well deserved) dinner then grabbing a few hours sleep before the 1:30am wake-up call to climb Illiniza Sur early tomorrow morning. These guys are tough!
