Ecuador
For those with limited time off, this eight-day course provides the ultimate glacier mountaineering experience by combining skills training with an ascent of a nearly 19,000-foot mountain. Our Cayambe trip allows you to hone your skills in a spectacular international setting, then directly apply them with expert guidance on a challenging peak.
Our classic Ecuador experience, the Volcanoes trip attracts climbers with previous mountaineering experience who want to climb challenging high-altitude peaks. Ecuador’s volcanoes rise from lush plains, beckoning climbers to their slopes, and we climb two of them: Cayambe (18,997’) and Cotopaxi (19,347’).
For those wishing to avoid the beaten track and experience some of Ecuador’s finest technical climbing, we offer our Illiniza and Antisana climbs. This trip is more backcountry oriented than our traditional Ecuador Volcanoes climbs, and we spend all our mountain nights in tents rather than huts. The greater difficulty and remoteness of our objectives, combined with their scenic beauty, make them extra inspiring.
