Climbing in the snow

Climbing Mt Cotopaxi.

If you look back to an earlier post you can read all about Mt Cotopaxi. It's an equatorial volcano, still active and spatially the closest point on the Earth to the Sun.

We were heading for the caldera, but to be honest we probably needed a much longer day. What we also needed was much better weather.

Our guide humoured us and took us to the second base camp. By that time the weather was closing in and it would have been madness to continue.

See the weather we were hiking in!
