About five minutes before standing on top, we heard a sound. \u00c2\u00a0This sound was very familiar to Romulo and he looked back and smiled. \u00c2\u00a0I smiled back as we saw the ultralight of a long-time friend of Phil and Romulo. \u00c2\u00a0Jorge Anhalzer came cruising by, working the air and getting up to our elevation. \u00c2\u00a0It could not have been timed any better on this perfect day.<\/p>\n<p>We celebrated our second successful climb in Ecuador and the weather held again. \u00c2\u00a0Perfect climbing with Antisana and Cotopaxi in the background. \u00c2\u00a0What a great day! \u00c2\u00a0Back in Quito now to say until next time to some of our team and for the rest, we are gearing up for our trip out to Chimborazo tomorrow morning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg Vernovage<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 28, 2011 Greg, Romulo and crew are back in Quito.\u00c2\u00a0 He took a minute to email a couple of photos and a brief dispatch (below).\u00c2\u00a0 Final celebratory dinner this evening and then most members fly home in the morning.\u00c2\u00a0 A couple of members are staying to attempt Chimborazo with Greg and Romulo.\u00c2\u00a0 This is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ecuador-volcanoes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5445"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5450,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5445\/revisions\/5450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
