A challenging tour for starting your andean summit adventure in Ecuador: overlooking Quito, you see the summit of Rucu Pichincha. Starting in Quito, you first go up with the TelefériQo to approx. 4.100 m to Cruz Loma. We recommend getting up “early” and catching the first gondola at 8 o’clock. You never know, when and if the weather on Rucu will change. more “Ridge of Rucu Pichincha”

The rainy season brings snow to the Ecuadorian mountains, less people come to climb them. We are now in low season, from March until May. Nevertheless, we have many sunny days, which we use of course for training and other activities (e.g. rock climbing), living “ECUADOR EJERCÍTATE”.

feel the flow – the secret of happiness. is what Mihály Csíkszentmihályi (psychology professor) described in an interview as: “being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one. Your whole being is involved, and you’re using your skills to the utmost.”
Sun rise at Yanasacha, on the way to Cotopaxi (5.897 m): snow conditions are perfect, the climate is try but it’s incredibly cold, it took us a bit more than 4 and a half hours to get here, 250 m are still missing. The efforts which are required for every move are rising, the energy level is falling. more “Yanasacha (5.650 m) – where motivation is key”
