First days in Ecuador

Alex, Billy, Steve, and I are now settled in at Pappagoyo. Our hub for the next climbs. We had a great time in Quito. Especialy an acclimatization hike on Rucu Pinchincha. about a 6.5 hr. round trip by taking the direct route up and the normal route down. Pretty easy going however the paso de la muerte (pass of death) was a bit sketchy but fun. Everyone is acclimatizing well and we are set for Illinizas N. tomorrow.
