HIGH EXPEDITIONSRoute Climbed: Guagua Pichincha - Padre Encantado Traverse.  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2001

Hiked with Martin (Austria) from the town of Lloa to Guagua Pichincha's refuge. After making it to the top we continued on our way towards Padre Encantado.

Nice views of the caldera and fumaroles as well of the surrounding mountains.

Slept at the Civil Defense hut on Guagua, privy to lightening storm below. Started hike at 6, summit Guagua at 7, summit Padre Encantado (access from Guagua side) around 9, summit Ruku around 11, out around 12 (Teleferico). Great hike, clear trail the whole way. The crux is the scramble to Guagau peak, but exiting chute to Ruku saddle was also a little dicey. Recommended.

Rucu was lots of fun. Somehow I found myself on some 4th or even 5th class. It was the highlight of the trip and the rest of the traverse was a great little tour of the mountain. Padre Encantado has some interesting cliffs.
