Antisana (Phil Ershler)
Emily texted this morning early, saying the team was packed up and heading to camp on Antisana. She checked in again once there saying the weather was clear but a tad breezy. Clouded over a bit in the afternoon with light rain. That’s more the exception than the rule in Ecuador. Let’s see what tonight brings.
Antisana is a beautiful peak. Maybe even the prettiest of the Ecuador volcanoes. The tricky part from a climbing standpoint is a large ‘schrund which pretty much encircles the mountain just short of the summit. It can be tough to find a way over/around/through that thing. Fingers crossed, as always, for the team.
