Cotopaxi deserves it's popularity. A relatively short trip takes you to the summit of this fantastic mountain! The 2nd highest in Ecuador, and one of the highest volcanoes in the world. Cotopaxi stands at 5,897m above sea level and dominates the skyline all around. Cotopaxi is one of the World's highest active volcanoes. The 1st ascent of Cotopaxi occurred in 1872 by Wilhelm Reiss and Angel Escobar. The 3rd ascent was completed by the famous British mountaineer Edward Whymper where he famously slept on the summit. Our itinerary makes the most of our time on the mountain, with suitable acclimatisation and additional training whilst making our ascent. Cotopaxi makes an ideal stepping stone to future high-altitude mountaineering objective and is a great stand alone objective in it's own right.

INTRODUCTION



INTRODUCTIONWhat we offer

Even though the ascent to the summit crater is short and direct, the climb is a relatively serious undertaking with multiple crevasses to cross and requires careful preparation and a high level of fitness. We offer you a fully guided ascent, led by UK leaders and local ASEGUIM guide. In addition to full support on the mountain, we use comfortable lodges/accommodation and the best equipment. Our itinerary has extra days built in for two summit attempts and slow acclimatisation.

Payment Plan

We know that committing to this expedition is a massive decision, financially. We offer payment plans, which allows you to spread the cost. Additionally, you will benefit from the substantial discounts we can offer for equipment needed for this expedition.



ITINERARY



DAY 4

Today we will make an ascent of Pasochoa (4,200m). Another volcano Pasochoa is a great acclimatisation peak for you to complete. The hike typically takes around 5 hours. Tonight you will stay at in a cosy lodge at around 3,500m.

DAY 5

From our accommodation we will make an ascent of Rumiñahui (4,500m). A peak named after a famous Inca general. After our ascent we will descend to a new

lodge at around 3, 600m.

DAY 1

International flight to Quito (2,850m) - transfer to hotel.

DAY 2

After breakfast you will take an acclimatisation walk around the old town of Quito before returning to the hotel for another night.

DAY 3

Today we will make a short drive (1hr) to the road head and hike to Cotopaxipungo (3,150m) from the village of Rumipamba. Passing the fantastic Rio Pita waterfalls you will arrive at comfortable accomodation in around 5 hours.

DAY 6

After a hearty breakfast we will make our way to Cotopazi Glacier. First we make our way to the refuge (4,800m) where we will be spending some night in a few days. We will make it to around 5,100m on the glacier as an acclimatisation hike today before heading down and spending the night at around 3,700m.

ITINERARY

DAY 7

We have an important "rest day" today, where you will have the option to visit the local markets or head to the beautiful Quilotoa Lake. Tonight we spend another night in the lodge at 3,700m.

(5,897m) Excitement will build as we approach the lip of the summit crater, you'll be blown away by the mix or ice and steam in the crater and of course the stunning views for miles around! We descend back to the hut an onward to Banos.

DAY 12

We bid farewell to Banos and make our way back to Quito for a final celebratory meal and some time to pick up some final souvenirs.

Experience required

Cotopaxi is a technically straightforward mountain, and a great 1st expedition to higher altitudes for many. However, it is essential that you have some experience of being out in the mountains in all seasons. Those with a good background of walking and mountaineering in the UK mountains in both summer and winter will get the most out of the expedition. You should be prepared both physically and more importantly phychologically for long days on your feet. Our training weekend will help you gain any additional training or experience needed. You will learn different skills including glacier rescue and avalanche awareness, and gain knowledge of altitude sickness, frostbite and the recognition of their symptoms, prevention and treatment. Prior to joining our expedition, please see your doctor and obtain the necessary permission and advice, as well as medications for travel in high altitude and exotic locales.



GENERAL INFORMATION

Summary:

Operating on the Mountain

Our expedition is run as a small group, and the plan and aim is to summit together as a team. We will be working as tent teams in pairs, helping each other kit-wise and giving psychological support. Upon arrival in Quito, the group will get a detailed introduction to how the expedition will be operated. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions.

Rest days and Training A combination of rest days, acclimatisation days and training whilst on the mountain will ensure that you are physically and mentally on best form to operate effectively in high altitude conditions, and finally attempt the summit push. During your rest days we encourage you to concentrate on recovering, eating and drinking, to relax, listen to music and stroll around.

From our accomodation during the expedition, we select suitable spots for training, where you familiarise yourself with and revise the techniques that you’ll need to use higher on the mountain. Skills development is an essential part of our programme, starting as early as possible before your expedition. On our training days before and during the expedition, you will practice a long list of skills in different areas: climbing techniques, glacier travel, ascending, descending, safety techniques, medical equipment and procedures, communications equipment. Team leaders and guides are constantly assessing the conditions on the mountain to ensure a safe ascent, and you will have the opportunity to learn about winter hazards and weather formation yourself.

Acclimatisation Acclimatisation will be achieved by ‘climbing high and sleeping low’, until everyone feels suitably adjusted to make the next move up to a higher camp. Finally, each climber will go back down to base camp for a prolonged rest, before moving up to occupy the accomodations, ready for the final push.



GENERAL INFORMATION

Safety Your expedition leader will ensure that sensible timings are adhered to on the summit day – reaching the summit late in the day would be a serious mistake. Whilst reaching the summit is our final aim, it will not be pursued to the detriment of safety. Ensuring safety on the mountain will always be our prime consideration.

Equipment We aim to make sure that all the kit we use is to the highest standards. We are equipped with satellite telephones(where appropriate), In-Reach devices, rock ice and snow anchors and full safety equipment. For accommodation we use clean and comfortable catered lodges/huts. Let us know about any food intolerances or allergies in advance and we will do our best to accommodate them.



GENERAL INFORMATION

Altitude and Health Common health problems in the mountains are headaches, dehydration, stomach bugs, diarrhoea, sun burn and altitude sickness. Keep hydrated at all times, drink only boiled or treated water, cover up in the sun and eat every meal for energy. Acclimatisation is a process which allows the body to adapt to an environment with reduced oxygen. The best way to acclimatise is to ascend slowly or to ascend to a higher level for a while, then to descend. An ideal scenario will combine these two techniques. All our trips are designed with a focus on safe and sensible acclimatisation. Nevertheless the speed at which a body adapts varies from individual to individual. Expect changes to your body and habits to occur, including your muscles feeling tired more quickly, a change in your sleeping habits, increased gasping for breath, loss of appetite and generally requiring more energy to do basic things. Our guides are very experienced in identifying symptoms of altitude sickness and will always have alternative plans to aid further acclimatisation in the event that this may be required.

GENERAL INFORMATIONInsurance

We advise you to take out your insurance as soon as you book your trip. This should cover you for any potential events which may cause you to cancel your trip. You need to ensure that you have a policy which climbing to 5,897m, mountain rescue, medical expenses and helicopter rescue. We require a copy of your insurance prior to departure. It is also worth bringing a copy of your passport and keep it separate to your own documents in case you lose your passport. The BMC offers insurance for climbing Cotopaxi. If using other companies please make sure they see the current advice from the Foreign Commonwealth Office.

Vaccinations

Contact your GP at least eight weeks before your trip to check whether you need any vaccinations or other preventive measures. Country specific information and advice is published by the National Travel Health Network and Centre, and useful information about healthcare abroad, including a country- by-country guide of reciprocal health care agreements with the UK, is available from NHS Choices. You should also ensure that your have had a dental check-up in the last 6 months.

Money

You should obtain US Dollars (USD) prior to travelling and this is probably the best option. There are ATMs and change bureaux in the arrivals halls and major towns/cities, which take Visa and Mastercard. It is a good idea to carry a small amount of small denominations for drinks, snacks and souvenirs.

Flights

Flights are not included in your expedition fee. We will send out a list of some recommended flight times for your expedition. Flights need to arrived and depart on the advertised dates to make sue of the in-country transfers.

Passport and Visa

Most countries do not require a visa for entry into Ecuador. However, please see the Ecuadorian Embassy website in your home country for up to date information.





TRAINING WEEKEND

Included in the cost of your expedition is a training weekend which will usually takes place in the highlands of Scotland.

The pre-expedition training weekend is designed to give you a better insight into the itinerary of your expedition, as well as well as giving you the required skills to complete your expedition and progress your skills further.

All of our training weekends are run over a weekend, with the start time being around 9am Saturday morning and finishing around 5.30pm Sunday afternoon. However, many people will arrive on Friday evening; as such there will be a member of Exped Adventure staff present to greet you at the locations.

Once you have signed up to the trip in your welcome pack you will be issued with a printable spreadsheet to assist with your packing. Note. We have written some examples of equipment for some items - these are what we commonly use and have found worked well, they are by no means what you have to bring!

Travel Items

Duffel Bags: you need one duffel bag (100-120 litres) this should be sturdy and waterproof with name written on bag (in case tag is lost). Bags with wheels are nice for the airport, but are impractial for an expedition, so don’t bring wheeled bags. Drybags: Bring 5-8 differently sized dry-bags to protect gear from rain. Rubbish Bags: 1 x heavy duty - useful for all sorts of things!Zip-lock Bags - 6 x assorted sizes - useful for all sorts of things!Daypack: Large day-pack (40-50 litres) - big enough to hold everything you’ll need for an overnight stop and can be used as hand luggag eon your flights. Locks: Padlocks are handy for your bags - number combination locks are better than key locks. Travel Wallet: Important for carrying your important documents including passport, extra photos, duffel inventory list, and money. Passport: (valid for at least 6 months after the trip ends). Scan your passport and also make a good quality hard copy of your passport and carry it separately. 2 additional passport photos very handy for numerous things.Travel Clothes: One set of clothes and shoes to travel on your international flight. You will store these at the hotel in Quito while trekking, so a smaller additional bag with a lock might be handy.Debit/Credit Cards: It's a good idea to have at least 2 cards from different banks and different providers. Cash: US Dollars - see above for information. Language phrase book - (not essential) (e.g. Lonely Planet Latin American Spanish)

KIT LIST

Footwear

Sandals: A lightweight pair of sandals for around camp - Teva style are great!Lightweight Shoes: Running shoes/approach shoes for camp, around town, etc...Hiking Boots: Medium-weight hiking boots for trekking, waterproofed and broken-in. Mountaineering Boots (6500m): For use lower down the moutain need to be appropriate for up to 6500m and should have a sole to accept crampons (e.g. La Sportiva G2 SM)Gaiters: "stop-tous" ankle gaiters are handy to keep snow, mud, and scree out of your hiking boots.

High Altitude Sleeping Bag: 4 season down sleeping bag. The bag should have at least 900g of high quality 650fill power down with a rating of -18°C as a minimum (e.g. Marmot Lithium)High Altitude Sleeping Bag Stuff Sack: Often the stuff sack supplied with your sleeping bag will be quite basic; it's a good idea to invest in a good compression sack (e.g. Sea-to-Summit Ultra Sil compression sack) Sleeping Bag Liner: Silk or Cotton - Silk is nicer! Very useful for keeping your sleeping bags in good condition and helpful for when staying in guest houses/hotels. Ear Plugs: 2 pairs. The idea being that you have one for yourself for if hut guests snore and one pair for to give to someone else if you snore! Sleeping at altitude does strange things to your body so you and/or your tent partner may be awake more than normal - and snore when you don't usually! It's a good idea to invest in good ear plugs as most are very uncomfortable to sleep in (e.g. Mack's Silicone Ear Plugs) Eye Mask: Again altitude does strange things to sleep - so you may find that you need to occasionally nap during the day. For this an eye-mask is invaluable. Buy a purpose made eye-mask, airline provided eye-masks are sweaty and don't cut the mustard!Pillow: Much nicer than trying to make one out of clothing! There are some great travel pillows out there (e.g. Therm-a-Rest compressible pillow)

KIT LIST

Climbing Equipment

Crampons: 12 point mountaineering crampons - with heel clip on the rear and plastic toe-bail on the front, these MUST fir your boots perfectly. DO NOT bring crampons with a wire toe bail, and ensure that your crampons have been well fitted to your boots well in advance of your expedition. (e.g. Petzl Vasak Leverlock)Note. Due to the size of high altitude boots you will often need to change the bars in your crampons for longer ones. Ice Axe (Piolet): 55-65cm general mountaineering axe with an adze, should be fairly lightweight but not a super lightweight axe! A leash is a good idea. (e.g. Petzl Summit axe & Petzl Linkin leash) Harness: comfortable sit harness for use all day long. Ensure your harness is big enough to go over the top of all of your outer layers - should not be a rock climbing harness (e.g. Petzl Altitude) Helmet: lightweight helmet, but NOT a super lightweight helmet.
