Ecuador with Cayambe Summit Climb

Ecuador climbing trip. We were able to summit Cayambe. We also attempted Cotopaxi (twice) but had to turn due to avalanche conditions and weather.

Just tried climbing it…. We used a private guide. Got to Ecuador on weds, did ruca pinch i ha on Thursday, then summit started at midnight last night. The altitude kicked my ass so no summit for me. Was the acclimization time very helpful? Seems that way. I slept in a hypoxico tent for a month as well and still wasn’t enough. Next time i am spending atleast 2 weeks here. Love alpine ascents though-your trip looked awesome. Cotopaxi is spewing ash right now unfortunately its closed indefinitely…

Alpine gave us a good amount of acclimation time ahead of Cayambe. I think we attempted Cayambe on day 7 after a few other lower climbs. It worked for me. Good luck on your next climb.
