All news: 8 November 2023

Greetings from Ecuador! News from the team of Rustam and Ivan. On November 6, 2023, the guys climbed to the high-altitude camp of the highest peak of Ecuador - Chimborazo volcano (6310 m). Rustam reports that, unfortunately, he felt ill here because of altitude sickness. There was a fever, weakness, low oxygen. It looks like there are enough mountains this time.

The first signs of weakness appeared already at the entrances to Chimborazo, but despite this an attempt was made to climb. The night at the base camp showed everything. It was decided to turn around. Rustam writes that he is generally satisfied with the overall results of climbing the third peak of Ecuador, but it would not be a wise decision to take risks and move on. It was a difficult but rewarding experience.

 Now Rustam has safely descended from the mountain and is preparing to return home. The main conclusion is that it is necessary to concentrate only on the main goal - Chimborazo, without climbing other volcanoes. They really take a lot of energy.

We draw conclusions. Let's move on.
