Imbabura Summit (15,902′) Kim Sieradzki)
Imbabura Trek (Kim Sieradzki)
IMG Senior Guides Kim Sieradzki and Romulo Cardenas sent a message this morning to let us know that their acclimatization hike of Imbabura (15,109′) went great with everyone reaching the summit yesterday. After the acclimatization hike the team made their way to the Hacienda Guachala for the night. Here the team prepared for the move to Cayambe Refugio this morning an enjoyed a nice dinner while learning about the history for this beautiful Hacienda from the Mayor of Cayambe. What a treat!
As we speak, the team is loading the bus and is heading out to the Oleas-Ruales-Berge Hut (15,902′) on Cayambe (18,996′). The team will hike and do some training on the lower glacier tomorrow which will put them in position to summit on Wednesday!
All is well in Ecuador!
