DUKE BOLD

The Cayambe Keystone team spent 10 days hiking and mountaineering in Ecuador. Their trip started with a hike around Cuicocha Lake (10,650 ft), followed by Imbabura Volcano (15,190 ft) the next day. For acclimatization, they spent the night at Cotopaxi National Park refugio (15,748 ft) and learned glacier climbing skills on the mountain. The trip culminated with #theclimb to the summit of Cayambe (18,996 ft), the third highest peak in Ecuador.
