\n\t\t\t\tComing off the summit of Cayambe. \n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>

\nPhil, I wanted to drop you a note and let you know that my son, Jared, and I just returned from 10 days in Ecuador with Romulo and his wonderful family.<\/p>\nThe experience was incredible: Romulo showed us the highlands of Ecuador and taught us so much about his beautiful country and its people. From charming and historic haciendas, to animal markets where Jared and I were the only foreign visitors, to small towns and bustling cities, Romulo opened our eyes to a whole different culture and a fascinating history. We hiked up Majanda, two of the Pichinchas (Rucu and Guagua), and Chimbo to 17,300.’<\/p>\n
And – despite some bad weather beforehand – Romulo guided us to the summit of Cayambe, our first high-altitude climb.<\/p>\n
Romulo and his wife took great care of us and every moment with them was priceless. Jared and I are truly grateful to count them now as our friends.<\/p>\n
Phil, thank you for introducing us to Romulo. Jared and I have climbed with IMG a handful of times over the past few years (three times on Rainier, twice in New Hampshire) and IMG made each one of those trips an unforgettable and meaningful experience.<\/p>\n
You did it again with Romulo and Ecuador. And we are not at all surprised.<\/p>\n
With many thanks and fond regards,<\/p>\n
Jay and Jared<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
