Chimborazo / Cotopaxi and acclimatisation
Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2013 1:23 amHi All, we're an Australian and North American looking for some partners for some acclimatisation climbs in Ecuador, followed by Chimborazo or Cotopaxi.
We are both pretty fit but we have been living at sea-level for a while in Ecuador so we need to warm up a bit before we attempt the bigger climbs.
We have climbed a few 14ers in Colorado but neither of us have technical mountaineering experience. I have done some ice and rock climbing so I have some idea, but this will be our first technical mountain. I want to stress that we're not looking for people to lean on however, just climbing partners for safety.
I have some ideas about where I'd like to acclimatise, PM me if interested.
Cheers!
