esugi Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Looking for partner(s) for 14 days of climbing in Ecuador this January. Itinerary includes Guagua Pichincha, Illiniza Norte, Illiniza Sur, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo. E-mail me if interested: eiji.sugi@alaskaair.com My climbing resume can be found on summitpost.com "esugi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 That's a lot of climbing in 14 days. Don't forget to check out the local towns and the amazing food. Have a great trip. I had friends do Illiniza Sur in 2001 and they loved it. And Coto and Chimbo were great in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esugi Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Thanks Chelle, yes that is a lot of climbing in 14 days but Guagua is a short hike and Norte is a short scramble. They almost don't count but its good for accli. We'll be sure to try the food (can't wait!) and will be checking out local markets. We also plan to hit Banos and Riobamba. Maybe squeeze in Otavalo if we have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'd recommend foregoing Banos in favor of checking out Otavalo. You can day trip to Papallacta(sp?) which is a much nicer hot springs. We skipped the typical Guagua acclimitazation hike and went right to the illinizas instead and was happier for it. Do the Ramp route on Sur--its a very fun route.

ashw_justin Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 and the amazing food. Ok ok, there are a couple good things. Ceviche, tostado, and let's not forget the canelaso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
