Cayambe (Luke Reilly)
Just heard from Jay and Romulo. The team is back at the Hacienda Guachala having lunch. Oh ya, by way of the summit of Cayambe. Congratulations, team. Light snow for several hours this morning but not enough to force the team to turn. Finally broke up high and summit ended up being nice. Descent was straightforward and after packing up at the hut, they made their way to the Hacienda. After lunch, they’ll drive east to the hot springs of Papallacta. Cold beers and hot water is on the afternoon agenda. What a nice way to end a long, but very successful day.
