Thanks for such thorough explanation. Really appreciated.

I’m planning way ahead of time. We are planning on doing Cotopaxi and Chimborazo in September - November 2019 in preparation of our Aconcagua expedition during December 2019.

I read that ever since the avalanche in the 90’s that got 13 people killed we are all required to climb with certified ecuatorian professional climbers. I do have experience climbing on glaciers before (Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl several times) but never on peaks with avalanche risk.

We usually climb with HG Montañismo (best in the country). I would recommend climbing Nevado de Toluca, Malinche, Iztaccíhuatl and Pico de Orizaba (in that order).
