Ecuador Team on summit of Cayambe (Luke Reilly)
The news from Mexico was good this morning. Austin called about 7 am Seattle time to let me know that everyone summited Ixta this morning under clear skies and that they were already back at high camp. They’ll finish packing up and head down to the vehicles and continue on to the city of Puebla. Hotel night with hotel shower, a big meal and a bed are well-deserved. Orizaba is next.
And, the news from Ecuador is “almost†as good. Luke’s team summited Cayambe this morning. Not 100% but a great job done by all. Weather is Ecuador was good, too. Team is heading down now for a nice lunch and then plan on heading to the famous hot springs of Papallacta. Not a bad way to end a great day. Antisana is next.
