Ascent Trip ReportThis was an acclimatization hike/jog in preparation for Sincholagua, Antisana, and Chimborazo. I started from the top of the Teleferico around 2:00pm and was back around 4:30pm. Despite the lack of views due to cloud cover, it was much more enjoyable than my previous visit to the peak, where I ran through the dark to get back to the Teleferico in time for closing. |
