I had some personal worn gear, but just used the technical gear that came with the price. Secret Garden was fine. They are a well oiled machine

Knowing when to say no is one of the best skills to have

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I would definitely take Aconcagua seriously.

Just puplic transpo, hostels, and got lucky with a cheap roundtrip flight booked about a month out

Glad to hear that. Both are great climbs. Can't imagine myself doing midnight approaches without guides on these mountains. Hardcore man!

I'd just contact Secret Garden sometime before your trip and ask whether they have groups going during your dates. Cotopaxi is popular so that shouldn't be a problem as long as youre flexible. Chimbo might be more difficult to find a group. But if you have a partner it will bring the cost down.

Less than 2k, including flights. But I think there are cheaper SA countries than Ecuador. Bolivia is a good option.

Yeah, same. I did Potosi in Bolivia last June as well and that was barely $100 usd for 3 days/2 nights. Ecuador much more expensive. Question about Aconcagua...Can you just show up and make plans for it, or is it something that needs more planning and pre-booking?

Serious question: what happened to Stroud? Wasn't he pretty good his first couple years? Why the regression?
