This has nothing to do with the OP but does anyone else feel the phrase "harder to kill", coined by Rob Shaul I believe, to be total b.s. used in its context? Has it been documented how many have died from not doing enough hard lifting in the gym?

“Strong people are harder to kill than weak people" is what he says.
I happen to agree with Rob & Mark, being stronger makes me able to handle different situations and move faster in the mountains...and faster = safer.
But, to each his own.

then climb Rucu Pichincha at 15,000
rest day and transfer to Illinizas hostel
climb Illiniza Norte(or Sur) at 16,800
rest day at Tambopaxi Lodge (or similar)
drive/hike up to Jose Rivas refuge and leave that night for Cotopaxi
P.S. the company i am in training with adds in Pasochoa at 13,000 before Ruchu. its a nice little hike but i think you would be okay just doing Rucu.

Not to quibble over something as trivial as semantics, but I never understood the word "kill" in this phrase to mean actual, physical death or cessation of life. I understood it to mean something like "exhaustion" or "running out of gas." That is to say, Twight's point was train hard to play hard, which is much less dramatic. But maybe I'm wrong.
