Unfortunately Alex and Billy couldnt join for the climb as they were both fighting flu like symtoms from the day before. However they were troopers by joining us at the 5000m refuge and supporting from there.
It was a tough climb. Depite being on Chimborazo before, I guess I didnt recall just how long and tough the West flank push really is. About 4 hrs. of relentless steep climbing put us both to the test. Regarless it was a great day with amazing weather and views from the top. We reached the Whymper summit at 5:55. Less than 6 hrs. from leaving the refuge.
