From the Summit of Cotopaxi

Elevation: 19,600 ft.

Hello, this is Casey Grom calling from the summit of Cotopaxi! We are just now standing on top in perfect weather with no wind. It has been a great day but a pretty tough day with deep snow and steep ice climbing to get us to the top. Our summit attempt took almost 7 1/2 hours and we have five out of nine climbers standing on the summit with Billy and me. We will be heading down soon and will check in later today from our next hacienda.
