Greetings
The always liked to climb mountains, has been a very own taste someone like me, born in the mountains and grow she learns to enjoy the scenery and into the. I've always loved the snow that falls on the highest points of our country, and every time I've been in a snowstorm for low height 4500m've tried to enjoy it as much as possible.
is not what I've spent, but it is a discipline that always called me attention, since when was a kid my brother in law taught me the tricks of climbing GUIDED with a compass (not yet so generalized GPS devices), learn about altimeters and its variation in height is consistent with how climate, types of equipment , ropes and other extras you need for the mountain. Over time what I've done well is in the adventure race, jogging and cycling, triathlon also, but it's always good to get back to those projects and ideas of the past as the higher up the mountains of my country.
Cotopaxi is, for me, the most beautiful mountain in the geography of the mountains Ecuador, and which has resulted in me always a fascination for its nearly perfect conical shape, being the highest active volcano in the world (5897msnm) and also have surrounded and at twice the circumference (+120 Km) in competition bicycle. Its name means moon neck ... a beautiful name for the mountain if you are lucky enough to see it in full moon night turns silver, and with luck and from the correct location will be in the top cradles the moon.
For difficulties and hardness of opening track and ice all the way the previous time you signed up for the mountain and tried to climb to the top, my attempt is was truncated to about 5800msnm. For this expedition I will have the pleasant company of William, a Mexican who tried for a year and a half since the summit, this time back and all.
Ready for this adventure, quella Deuter pack is that out of my brother, who always accompany me in spirit, especially in the mountain, so beloved by him. Tomorrow I'll be there, and windy and hard work for the summit will be on Saturday.
A hug to all
