Nothing like waiting to the last minute to pack. Everything is tucked away and ready for travel. Tomorrow should be nothing less than long and torturous. First flying to Atlanta, Georgia where I'll meet up with Curtis and then departing for Ecuador at 5:55 P.M. landing at 11:25 P.M. Nothing really on the agenda for Wednesday, but we're hoping to do a little hiking to get ready for base camp at Cayambe's Hut. Quito has an elevation of about 9,300 ft and the hut that we'll be driven to is a little over 15,000 ft. That's a lot of elevation to cover in just a couple days, but luckily we're planning a couple days at the hut before making a summit attempt. We'll do some route finding during the day and maybe place some markers. When we go for the summit most of it will be under the cover of darkness until we reach the summit. That should allow for more stable conditions when traversing through a "yard sale" of crevasses and seracs. Now if we can just have the weather cooperate we'll be in business.
