| Looking a little worse for wear after 2 mountains in as many days. (sorry M...had to publish it :) |
 |
| However, there's nothing like vegan pancakes, with homemade blackberry jam and 4:30 in the morning for an alpine start! |
 |
| Looking much better here and we get started on the lower slopes |
 |
| Cayambe in the background....only place on earth with 0 latitude and 0 degrees temperature |
 |
| Everything is in bloom in the paramo/alpine during the wet season |
 |
| More high altitude "pineapple" Sorry....I'm not good at remembering the names of these plants |
 |
| ...except for this one....miniature Indian paint brush! They are much bigger in Canada |
 |
| Watch that exposure! |
 |
| One of 2 cruxes |
 |
| Emily approaching the summit |
 |
| On the north summit....slightly lower than the south summit....too much exposure to traverse the exposed crater rim in very dense cloud. |
 |
| coming down |
 |
| 5 different buses to get home.....the last one was jam packed.....and free |
