| HIGH EXPEDITIONS | Route Climbed: Normal Route (La Esperanza)  Date Climbed: Nov 25, 2009 | |
| Climbed with Andreea (ROM) from the casa "Refugio Imbabura". We spent the night there and started early at 4:45 am. Great weather during the approaching to the ridge, then it turned foggy and windy. Got to the summit at 9;45 am after 5 hours of climbing. Nice being up there with Andreea, my climbing partner during the last 5 months. Got back to the town of La Esperanza by foot by early afternoon. | |

| Boriss (ECU) and I started our climb at 4:45 am. We spent the night at the trailhead (house at the end of the road). A beautiful mountain with strange rock formations. The weather changed a couple meters below the summit, it got foggy and windy at times. Love this mountain... like all of the Ecuadorian mountains! | |

| Climbed with 22 English boys and girls. We started at 7:30 am from La Esperanza trailhead. All of us summited including the other 3 ecuadorian guides. It took us 8 hours RT. It was a foggy and windy day. A nice experience for all of us after expending 8 days sitting on our bikes thoughout northern Ecuador | |

| Last time I climbed Imbabura was more than 9 years ago with Andrea. We climbed it by the western side. This time I climbed with Bernd (GER) from the eastern side (La Esperanza). We started at 7:30 am from the trailhead. A very slow ascent up to the north summit. We made it after 5 and a half hours of constant hike. The weather was great at the begining but it got cloudy near the top. It took us 3 hours to get back to the trailhead. I could see the highest summit from the northern summit for a few seconds. I really want to climb it up again from the western side (Lago San Pablo). | |
