Wild....When I climbed Chimborazo back in january 1999, at about 19,500' we were traversing diagonally up the slope and the whole area around our rope team settled with a loud thud. Really scary when it is completely dark out. We turned around and headed down fast. Right before you get back to the "ice step" to get on the glacier, there was a decent sized avalanche that came down right where we had crossed only hours before and we crossed over the debris and high-tailed it to Banos for sport climbing and beer drinking.....
