Chimborazo (Photo: Jorge Anhalzer)
The sat phone call just came in from Greg Vernovage. Our Chimborazo team is at high camp. Weather is reasonable and route conditions seem reasonable. They need weather to hold through tomorrow and the team will need to put in a big effort to pull this one off. But, they’ve got a chance.
Tune in tomorrow and we’ll let you know what happened. Chimborazo is a BIG mountain – over 6000 meters and higher than Denali. It’s best attempted with a small, strong, team. No walk in the park, this one.
