I climbed to the top of Cotopaxi Volcano, at 5,897 meters / 19,344 ft., absolutely the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life.

You can read an account of the whole thing at http://dangrec.com/cotopaxi-summit

I'm back on the road now too, so the updates will roll once again.

Nice job on Cotopaxi ! In the mid 70's I lived in Sucua, Ecuador when I was in the Peace Corps. I took one of my sons back there in 2003 and we hit Cotopaxi. I've done lots of climbing there, and throughout South America, and, like you, love the country. Actually I love all of South America. Stay safe.

Terrific job. My wife grew up in Cotopaxi, Colorado!

OK, now the locals really are getting too friendly.

It's a shame that hand gestures are universal, I really didn't want to know what he wanted...

I think I took a picture in this exact same spot when I took my trip to Panama last year. On the Mex200 just south of San Juan de Alima.....
