Cumbre on Chimborazo!

And again! It comes with much excitement to report that the Madison Mountaineering Ecuador Volcanoes team has successfully reached the summit of Chimborazo and returned back to Quito, safe and sound. It was a near perfect day on Ecuador‘s highest peak. Standing at 6263m/20,549ft, the team basked in the sunshine and took in the 360 degree views before shouldering their packs once again and turning back towards camp. We’ll say our goodbyes this evening as another remarkable trip to Ecuador comes to a close. We’re back again this November! Reach out to our team to learn more. Expedition leader, Estalin Suárez checks in with this dispatch from the summit of Chimborazo:

Hey, hello to everyone! This is Estalin calling in for the Madison Mountaineering Ecuador Volcanoes expedition, directly from the summit of Chimborazo (6263m/20,549ft), 6,268 meters, the farthest point from the center of the Earth!

So we got a glorious day, beautiful, beautiful day. We can see all the volcanoes around, no wind at all. The snow is pretty good.

Yeah, so… Stay tuned for the pictures later. Bye!
