Hello again everyone,
After a relatively good nights sleep the team woke early to have breakfast and head higher up the mountain to do some training, acclimating and put ourselves in position to climb Cayambe.
Unfortunately the clouds had gathered and some light rain greeted us for breakfast, and didn’t let up until this afternoon. However, we made the most of it by moving up to the climbers hut (Refugio), getting settled and we were able to sneak out for a quick hike to help our lungs prepare for the deep breathing we’ll be doing tonight.
Here in just a short while we will have our summit talk, where we will review the climb and game plan for tonight. Then we’ll have an early dinner before hopefully climbing into our sleep bags for a few hours of rest. The plan is to wake up around 10:30pm (yes…you read that right) have breakfast and hit the trail around 11:30.
I’m expecting the climb to take in the neighborhood of 7-8 hours to reach the summit if weather cooperates.
Everyone is doing well, a little excited and a little nervous, but that’s all very normal for climbing big mountains.
We’ll touch base as soon as we make it back down tomorrow.
Wish us luck with the weather!!
RMI Guides Casey, Jackson, Fatima and the Cayambe crew.

Ecuador Volcanoes November 4 - 14, 2025
Last night, after a successful arrival, our Mexico Volcanos team assembled at our lovely Hotel Geneve in the Zona Rosa district of Mexico City.
We ran through intros and headed out to the local taco bar.
The team is stoked and ready to head to our first volcano, La Malinche!
