Are there any reputable Ecuadorian guide services out there that anyone with personal experience can recommend? I'm interested in Cotopaxi and Chimborazo Fall/Winter '06. (Potential partners also welcome, by the way.) Thanks! Woodie

I did them back in '98 and the grades were correct. There are lots of people on Pisco but not so on Chopo. Pisco is straight forward and you'll have no difficult (just acclimate). Probably wthe hardest part is just getting to basecamp (the moraine was fun in '98 and I imagine its about the same now).
