Illinza Norte 5126m

Emily at the Refugio at 4700m

The Illinizas....we climb the one on the right....up the ridge and down the line thru the scree

Master chef Freddy in the kitchen

Some light snow in the afternoon

Another alpine start....

Emily grinding it out on the slag heap

Corazon, Atacazo, Las Pichinchas and Cotocachi....looking north

Cotopaxi

A third of the way up the mountain





Cotopaxi in the background

Hugging the rock on the Paso de la Muerte....death pass.....not a problem in dry conditions





Final push to the summit


View to the south....Illiniza Sur....about 200m higher and the most technically demanding peak I've climbed

Cotopaxi about the cloud

Mountain woman M on the summit!


Whacha gonna climb in Nova Scotia Emily?

10 minutes on the windy summit

Major scree blast
