Our Ecuador Expedition started off on all cylinders this week. After a day in Quito and a quick trip up the new telepherique on Rucu Pinchincha (a seven minute ride takes you from the city to almost 14,000 feet on a local peak – ideal acclimatization) we headed to our first mountain of the trip, the 16,204 foot Cotocachi. Since its summit pyramid is very technical, Cotocachi is rarely visited by climbers. In fact, neither Jaime nor I had summited the peak, so the route was new for us as well as our group.
