We had a very nice and relaxing stay at the Hacienda Chilcabamba, enjoying excellent food, great views of Cotopaxi, magnificent star gazing, and warmth from wood stoves. Well fed and rested, now we're headed to the climbers' hut on Cotopaxi where we'll review climbing techniques and prepare for our summit bid. Hopefully the weather cooperates; so far it hasn't disappointed. We'll check in again tomorrow to keep everyone up to date. RMI Guide Mike Walter
