                    In Banos, I have booked a guided climb (including all equipment) 
                    of Mt.  
                    Cotopaxi (5897m). It's supposed to be the highest active volcano 
                    of the world.

                    first night we camp on 3800m for  
                    acclimatisation.  
                     
                     
                      
                    My equipment - everything is rented. 
                     
                     
                      
                    It's quite windy... 
                     
                     
                      
                     
                     
                      
                    I'm standing in front of Mt. Cotopaxi.
