Cotopaxi Express: Summit Day!
Boy did we luck out this morning!
After three days of being totally obscured, Cotopaxi was out and about in the stars when we woke up. The team assembled for breakfast and loaded packs for what would be a long and successful day of climbing. Breaking trail all the way up, navigating through crevasses and seracs, and enjoying spectacular views and unpredictable weather gave us a full value day in the mountains. Safely up, our thoughts turned to getting safely down and the team made it happen.
Now we are showering at the Hacienda La Cienega and getting set for a victory meal! Thanks to everyone back home, we'll see you soon.

What a day! Congrats to all, gratitude to team leaders. Good news from the real world: former REI Chief named Secretary of the Interior by an enlightened President.
