Cotopaxi Express: Walter and Team Summit Rucu Pichincha

June 30, 2014

Elevation: 15,400'

Our team had a great day today, tackling our first acclimatization climb in good style. We climbed to the summit of Rucu Pichincha, a 15,400' volcano outside of Quito. The views were grand as we ascended in the rare air of high altitude. Everyone did great (we were all breathing hard up there!), and we look forward to moving out of the comfort of the city life tomorrow, heading south, and getting another acclimatization hike under our belts. We'll touch base again tomorrow. Thanks for checking in! RMI Guide Mike Walter
