Today Alexander Abramov and our Ecuadorian guide Edgar Parra climbed the highest peak of Ecuador Chimborazo 6310m (the highest mountain in the world, if measured from the center of the Earth). Since the ascent was made without acclimatization, before that there was only one night at 3500, it was very difficult. But, nevertheless, we ascended to the Main peak of the mountain, which is an hour from the Western.

As the ascent was accomplished without acclimatization, was one night at 3500, it went hard. But, nevertheless, we ascended to the main peak of the mountain, which is an hour from the Western peak. On this day, all the other teams turned back. Now we're going to climb  Cotopaxi.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club:  Our team climbed the Volcano Rucu Pichincha. The altitude of 4600 m, it is near Quito.

 Later we celebrated the birthday of Galia Rossova...

Lyudmila Korobeshko, guide and Director of the 7 Summits Club: Hello from Ecuador! Today, the Team of Brave Guinea Pigs to 5 am cheerfully climbed to 5700m on Cotopaxi. And then we ran into avalanche-prone slope, which is already about a week no one passed. Several local guides attempted to do the trail, but soon returned, saying that the state of the slope is extremely dangerous. At any moment an avalanche could be.

In General, to the highest point, we missed 200 m.

So, we will have to come back to Ecuador! And not only on Cotopaxi!

Lyudmila Korobeshko, guide and Director of the 7 summits Club:

You can congratulate our team with the first five-thousand meters summit. This year it is definitely the first for all:). On 2th January in bad weather, our group of the 7 Summits Club under the name of Brave Guinea Pigs, climbed on Iliniza Norte 5126м. It was an incredible amount of snow, and on the descent even more -  the storm caught us. But in parting, Iliniza gave us an insanely beautiful sunset.

That is all. Now we are going to Baños and we will be there to relax.
