| HIGH EXPEDITIONS | Route Climbed: Normal Route  Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2008 | |
| Nice scramble to Ecuador's eleventh highest mountain (4,939 m/16,204 ft). Edgar, Katy and I started at 8 am from the Antennas. Had to climb a couple of long gullies completely covered by waist deep snow. Then I scrambled up a thin rock chemeney to belay up my buddies soon after. We Reached the summit almost 7 hours of constantly climbing. Great being up there despite bad cold weather and chilly conditions. (It's advisable to wear gaitors, crampons and helmets for rock fall danger) | |

| Made it up with a good group. Very enjoyable! We even found lightning glass at the summit where lightning had had struck the summit and melted sand. A little dangerous coming down with rockfall and all- had to wear helmets. We didnt need crampons- all rock to the top the way we went. | |

| Only climbed the secondary summit due to time constraints and poor visibility. Hope to return soon. | |

| Didn't make it to the top, only up to 4750m because we didn't have the proper gear with us (crampons). Still it was a GREAT experience ! | |
