Ecuador Seminar: Knoff & Team Summit Cotopaxi!

I’m thrilled to announce that 100% of team Ecuador made it to the summit of Cotopaxi this morning. As I mentioned yesterday the mountain got whipped up into a mood which made the prospect of summitting today fairly uncertain. But like I also said, you never know what can happen. Keeping this in mind I poked my head out of the hut at 11:45 last night and was amazed to see stars glimmering in the clear sky. This at least solved the moisture problem but the wind still rattled the walls and made roofs squeal, which we aptly named Godzilla. Once we motivated and committed to climbing, things just worked. Our local guides and RMI guides had a bit of differing ideas about pace, which is why there is no group photo, but all in all the climb was superb. Because we got separated a bit, some climbers made it back to the hut a good hour before the last but by the end, everyone was covered in thick rime ice. The good weather again lasted only long enough for us to get up and down before turning to a wet blowing soaker we are happy to be sheltered from. Now we are packing up and getting ready to once again load the magic bus and head down to the lowlands for our celebration meal and nap. Tomorrow is a well earned rest day. Before I close this I would like to wish happy birthday to the wonderful lady in my life. These beautiful summits remind me of you. RMI Guide Adam Knoff
