Upper Slopes of Chimborazo

Upper Slopes of the Wymper Route showing the area that is in dangerous condition lately. Due to conditions, we had to descend 1000 feet/300 meters or so and do an icy traverse to the left before reclimbing up to the Castillo route since the old upper section of the Whymper Route was in bad condition. Photo is a zoom shot taken at sunset from the Whymper Hut on January 16 2007.
