Cotopaxi Express: Davis, Grom, and Team Prepare for Cotopaxi

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ecuador

Thursday, December 4, 2014 3:25 pm PST Buenos tardes (good evening) everyone! Today the team spent the day resting in preparation for tonight's climb. The day was mostly filled with reading, waiting on the wifi, exploring the grounds near the hacienda, and a world championship of cribbage, where Leon and Topo were crowned. We also took a ride to visit a ancient pre-Incan ruin, and a beautiful hidden spring. We spent the afternoon discussing our plan for tonight's climb and have everything squared away. The team is very excited and looking forward to tomorrow, or perhaps I should say tonight, as we'll be getting up very early. On another note, we had a trivia challenge today and the winner will receive a free one minute satellite phone call from the summit if all goes well. So for those of you out there following our blog, keep your phones handy tomorrow morning! Wish us luck! RMI Guides Casey Grom, Leon Davis, and crew
