One climber stayed at the hut on Cotopaxi this morning. The altitude just wasn’t agreeing with him. The rest of the team made good time, in good weather and perfect route conditions and stood on the summit this morning. Way to go team!!
Everyone got back down without issue, packed up and headed down to the Hacienda Tierra del Volcan and the thicker air of 12,000 ft. Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow at the Hacienda San Augustin.
Congratulations, team!
