the trip
Ecuador is a fantastic place to climb and a great travel destination in its own right. With
a diversity of vegetation zones, from the tropical equatorial jungle to the high alpine
plateau, Ecuador is dotted with majestic snow‑capped volcanoes rising to over 6000m. To
appreciate these remarkable contrasts we climb a range of peaks, culminating in an attempt
on Ecuador’s highest peak, Chimborazo. Under the guidance of our mountain guides we
undertake glacier training and practice and develop the skills needed for the bigger peaks.
Providing you have an excellent level of fitness this trip is suitable for experienced trekkers
that are keen to go a step further and climb their first 6000m peak. Visits to the Otavalo
market, Quito and the famous Devil’s Nose train ensure this expedition is more than just
mountains but a complete Ecuadorian experience.

Entry level Mountaineering
or Exploratory Treks
Participants should be competent and
self sufficient in the outdoors and have
experience in multi day trekking at
altitude. Prior experience on an entry
level mountaineering expedition is highly
recommended. The terrain will involve
low to moderate angle snow slopes and
traveling on crevassed glaciers and few
snow/icy slopes. Experience using ice
axe and crampons is preferred but not
essential. Please see the ‘Am I Suitable’
and ‘Physical Requirements’ paragraphs
in this document for further details.
A fantastic snow climb on relatively straightforward moderately graded terrain. This is one of
Ecuador’s highest peaks and a truly enjoyable climb. After time savoring the view over the Andes, we
will return to the refuge and then onto Quito. Overnight Quito
8-9 hours walking. Altitude 4750 - 5790m. With crampons and ice axe.
meals: B,L
DAY 8Day at leisure in Quito
A free day set aside to rest after the climb and explore the delightful capital of Ecuador. Depending
on group interest, a trip can be made to the local hot springs, the cost of which will depend on the
number of those interested.

By its very nature adventure travel involves
an element of the unexpected. In remote
and developing countries do not expect
standards you are used to at home. Remote
areas are sometimes unpredictable and
itineraries may be altered. To get the most
out of your adventure it is important that
you are flexible, positive and eager to
take on all the challenges that arise. If you
are uncertain about your suitability for
this trip we recommend that you speak
with your consultant or travel agent.

requirements for members
We expect all participants on this expedition to have prior experience trekking at altitude.
Mountaineering experience is preferred but not essential.
am i suitable for this trip?
A Challenging trip is more difficult than any other program we offer. Each of these expeditions
has an ambitious objective or goal that necessitates cooperation, contribution and a positive
spirit from every member for it to be successful and ultimately rewarding and enjoyable for all.
Being personally very fit and healthy will allow you to cope with the rigours of the trip through
all conditions right through to the finish, and being mentally ready to embrace the variety of
experiences involved is equally important. We strongly encourage intending participants to
talk and meet with us directly as early as possible to discuss your ideas and ensure you have
chosen the right trip for your level of experience and fitness.
physical fitness
For a challenging program physical fitness should be an ongoing thing, which should start
from a base at around 4 to 6 months prior to departure and increase to build maximum
endurance, stamina, flexibility and familiarity with the anticipated routine as much as possible
by your trip commencement. Three to five hard sessions of 40 to 60 minutes of physical
exercise per week such as running, hill walking, swimming, cycling or gym work will build
excellent aerobic capacity and overall endurance and stamina which are so important in
trekking and climbing at altitude. Overnight or multi day bushwalks ( on rough, loose and
rocky terrain) should be incorporated in your training regime also, this develops skill and
confidence on difficult terrain you will find on expedition. Rest and recovery, whilst at the
same time steadily increasing your routine and incorporating variety, are just as important
parts of the process if you intend to maintain and enjoy the regime for any duration. (We
hope that it will become a ‘lifetime’ thing.) With a solid training regime comes a more relaxed
disposition, more energy and usually better walking and breathing technique, which ultimately
leads to you having a great trip rather than some kind of survival experience. Likewise
overnight camping bushwalks encourage you to become self‑actualised and self‑reliant,
making the daily routine on trek, getting ready on time, keeping clean, helping out and so

country information
Ecuador has a population of close to 14 million people. It is made up of pure‑blooded Indians
(approx 40%) whose forebears were the Incas and speak Quechua. Over time, these people
have developed sub‑groups according to their locality and with it, their own language and
culture. The balance of the population is basically made up of Mestizos ‑ a mixture of Spanish
and Indian stock, many of whom live in urban/city areas. Approximately half the population
lives in the coastal areas and Galapagos, and the other half in the highlands. A small number
live in the Amazon area. Ecuador has an area 283,520 square kms, (a little larger than the state
of Victoria) and is situated on the Equator on the Pacific coast of South America. Its capital,
Quito, at 2850 metres, is located in the highlands and makes an ideal base for our trip. With a
population of 1.8 million, it is a city rich in history with well‑preserved colonial architecture in
the old part of town, and modern developments in the new area. Guayaquil is an important port
city for the country, with a population similar to that of Quito. The country’s main exports are oil,
bananas, shrimp and various agricultural products. Official languages are Spanish and Quechua.
The form of government is a republic that is democratically elected, headed by a president.
Geographically, Ecuador is extremely varied but can be divided into three distinct regions which
each have a dry and a wet season. The coastal lowlands and Galapagos Islands are basically
warm and tropical. To the east is the tropical rainforest of the upper Amazon basin known as the
Oriente. It is however, the Central Highland region, with high mountains and fertile valleys, that
is of greatest interest to us on our visit. Much of the population is located in this region, as well
the snowcapped volcanoes that run in the form of a ladder down the length of the country. The
eastern and western cordilleras (mountain ranges) contain a total of thirty volcanoes of varying
seismic activity and size.
climate
Ecuador has an amazing variation in weather and seasons, and is unpredictable. The Highlands,
are more often influenced by the weather from the Amazon. November to February and June
through September periods are found to be the most stable, but with rain/snow or wind still
possible at this time. Bad weather does not usually persist, and it is quite common to have four
seasons in one day! Temperatures at both day and night time are quite moderate, considering
we are in an alpine environment, with cool/cold evenings and warm days (depending upon
altitude). The Galapagos climate can be divided into a hot season (Dec‑May) when there is a
possibility of rain, and the cool season (Jun–Nov) when the days are generally cloudy with some
rain and drizzle. Despite these variations, conditions are generally favourable for visiting the
islands throughout the year.
a typical day
This is a mountaineering expedition and you are a member of the team. You are ensured a
client/guide ratio of at the most one to four. Catering will mostly be handled by your guides, but
understand that due to the challenging conditions and demanding workload on a mountain,
every team member has to be flexible. You will be responsible for gathering water or snow to
melt for drinking and meals, and expected to clean your own eating utensils, as well as erect
and take down your tent. You are a member of a mountaineering team whose goal is to climb
several significant mountains in Ecuador, and as such your help is important in making the team
and yourself reach the summits. Food will be as varied as possible with emphasis on fresh food
up to Base Camp. You are expected to be able to carry your personal gear above base camp,
including your high altitude food for the climb, and on some of the climbs, your own sleeping
bag. Before base camp, mules will be used to carry the bulk of equipment and supplies,
or alternatively we will drive right to the Cayambe and Chimborazo refuges. If the weather
conditions allow for the expedition to make the summits before the official end of the expedition,

there may be spare time. Any help needed with ideas of where to go, what to do, will of course
be most willingly given.
dietary requirements
Provided we are advised in advance of your departure we are able to cater for vegetarian diets
and can assist with medically recommended diets (allergies and intolerances). Please ensure
you discuss your requirements with us well in advance (at least 1 month prior to your trip) to
determine whether we can cater to such dietary requirements on your chosen adventure. Please
note that options are likely to be limited in very remote locations or alternatives may be more
expensive or unavailable. There may be times when those with special requirements may need
to provide their own food. We are unable to guarantee a peanut‑free or allergen‑free trip, and
therefore, we strongly encourage that travellers with life‑threatening or severe allergies take
all necessary medical precautions to prepare for the possibility of exposure. Passengers must
travel with all necessary medications for food allergies and be capable of self‑administering
these medications.
what you carry
In your daypack you will need to carry extra warm clothing (depending on the altitude, location
and weather), a rainjacket, water bottle, camera gear, valuables and personal items such as
sunscreen, lip‑eze etc. Porters and mules carry all group gear and your trek pack.
equipment required
Specialist gear required include walking boots and day pack (a comprehensive gear list is
provided in the pre‑departure information provided on booking).
acute mountain sickness
When we ascend above 2500 meters our bodies have to acclimatise to the decreasing amount
of the oxygen available. To allow our bodies to adjust we have structured our treks so that you
ascend slowly, allowing acclimatisation to occur. However, during the acclimatisation process,
you may experience some of the following symptoms.
• Headache
• Tiredness
• Disturbed sleep
• Loss of appetite/nausea
• Shortness of breath
• Cough
• Palpitation
• Swelling of the hands and face
Individuals acclimatise at different rates. Your best strategy is to take your time and drink plenty
of water. These symptoms may not indicate the onset of A.M.S. and if you experience them it
does not necessarily mean that you should not continue. All our group leaders have extensive
first aid training and we urge you to communicate with the group leader at all times should you
believe you have any symptoms in order that we can effectively monitor your symptoms. The
only cure for Acute Mountain Sickness is to descend.
Please note that your group leader has ultimate responsibility and may ask you to descend if
symptoms persist.
