Ecuador



My son Kane is studying abroad this semester at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, in Quito Ecuador. He's become quite the mountain adventurer. He reached the summit of Pichincha (over 15,000'), camped at the base of Cotopaxi, climbed up the snow/ice covered summit of Iliniza Norte (16,784'), hiked part way up Chimborazo at over 18,000', and hopes to summit the 19,347' Cotopaxi before he heads home at the end of May. Here are some photos of his adventures.
