Ecuador Seminar: Grom & Team Acclimate on Rucu Pichincha

February 6, 2015

Posted by: Casey Grom, Ben Liken

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ecuador

Elevation: 15,696'

Hey all, Today was a beautiful day in Quito, with majestic views of Cayambe and Cotopaxi it couldn't have been better. We started off with some strong coffee and promptly piled into some taxis to head to the gondola that would take us to 13,000 feet. From here we hiked to the top of Rucu Pichincha at 15,696 ft, everyone did great managing new altitude and rugged terrain. Upon our return to the city we did some final gear shopping, resting, and eating. This will be our last night in Quito before we venture out to the country side for some more adventure. Stay tuned!
