Finally in a place with Internet access. We are leaving to climb ou second mountain in about 45 minutes. Moving up to the HUT, eating, getting some sleep....and then up at 12:00 Midnight and off we go. Wish us luck.
For those of you with access to our itinary, you may have noticed that we are attempting Cotopaxi one day earlier than scheduled. The reason is that we failed to summit our first mountain, Antisana. The first mountain was hammered with a foot of wet snow the day before our summit attempt and the guides determined the avalanche danger was too severe to entertain a summit bid....so we never left our tents at Advanced Base Camp....disappointing. But because we did not engage in a major climb, we did not need the scheduled rest day.
We are optimistic about the weather for the Cotopaxi climb tonight/early tomorrow morning. I will try and post some pictures from Antisana and Cotopaxi when we return tomorrow.
Wish us luck.
P.S. we have not had Internet Access or phone reception ever since we left for Antisana. More later.
