Chimborazo

ECUADOR | Monday, 24 August 2009 | Views [95] | Comments [1]

Chimborazo was great.  It was pretty chilly but everything went well.  I probably would have been better off with a blindfold on, atleast my face would have been warmer.  I had to clear my goggles about every ten steps but it was a blast.  My brain started turning on me at the top and I experienced a few hallucination...whoa!  Great success.  I shared the mountain with a few guided teams and that was interesting.  I did the routefinding for the first 3000 feet.  I backed off a crevass crossing to go around, warning an Ecuadorian guide of the hazard ahead and I said ¨this way is no good.¨  He replied with ¨maybe not for you!¨  His karma caught up with him and he proceeded to drop straight in, haha.  He was okay but I picked his pride up for him and returned it as I passed him.
