Update from Mexico and Ecuador

November 16, 2016

Let’s get caught up on this morning’s summit attempts.  Down in Mexico, Austin and team got  shut out.  Weather turned for the worse last night and heavy snow kept the team in camp.  Bummer.  Team’s retreated and is heading now for the city of Puebla.  They’ve still got another shot when they head tomorrow morning to Orizaba.  Weather said no this morning but the team’s upbeat and ready for an attempt on Orizaba.

Better luck in Ecuador.  Luke and team summited Cayambe this morning.  Cold and a bit breezy but clear.  They’re off the mountain and now on their way to the hot springs of Papallacta.  If it’s clear, they’ll get a good view of their next objective – Antisana.
