Today the weather redeemed itself with perfect conditions on Cotopaxi.  100% of the team reached the summit in calm conditions just after sunrise.  It could not have been a nicer day.  We now can all go home having summited a big mountain and with a story to tell from Cayambe.

A huge shoutout to this team for embracing the team aspect of climbing.  All members supported another member at some point during both of the climbs.  It was impressive to see the group show genuine care towards people who were strangers just days earlier.  On numerous occasions we spent two hours or more at a meal sharing stories, laughing and learning about each other.

Also a shoutout to our Ecuadorian guides who continue to show their professionalism in the mountains, this expedition would not be possible without their local knowledge and high level of skill.

Finally, thanks to friends and family who have been following along with this trip.  It’s encouraging to know you’re out there supporting us and we always enjoy getting a comment from Farmer Dave!
