Received the email below from Eric, one of our November Ecuador trip team members, who wanted to take a shot at Chimborazo after the regular trip.\u00c2\u00a0 Romulo was able to accommodate and Eric describes the results below.\u00c2\u00a0 Nice job, Eric!<\/p>\n

Hi, just a quick update on Chimborazo.<\/p>\n

We set up high camp at 17700 ft just under the Castle yesterday morning. By 11pm Romulo and I started our traverse onto the southwest ridge. The snow line was reached at nearly 19000 ft, so the initial part was just on climbing boots without crampons. The weather was super nice, clear sky, just a little below zero with no wind at all. I was wearing a base layer and a medium insulation layer.<\/p>\n
