Cotopaxi Conquered


I received news from Jo and I am sure she wouldn’t mind me sharing this with you all….

“I managed Cotopaxi, but not all the way. Was the most amazing, but possibly the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life! Met a lovely girl from Holland and 2 boys, but the Dutch girl and I paired up to do it. Climbing up the volcano starting at 1 am with crampons etc in high altitude. We started at 4800 metres and the summit was 5900 and we made it to 5550! In the pissing rain and wind, but was fantastic.

Currently recovering in a hostel then going to meet James in Tena tomorrow....”

I am certain there is more to come so watch this space.

Thanks Matthew
