The last few members of the team are arriving back at the refugio after a successful summit of Cayambe!  It was a clear morning, but quite windy above 17,000’.  We will descend to Guachala today for some much needed rest before moving south towards Cotopaxi tomorrow.

On Sunday, we had an excellent day reviewing basic mountaineering skills on the glacier plus starting some advanced skills in the hut.  Currently we are 20 minutes into the climb and it is a clear, calm night.  Let’s hope it stays that way!
