Private Ecuador High Altitute Expedition, Part 1
July 5th to July 14th, 2011
Climbers: Jennifer Peeks and William Barrera
Guide: Pepe Landazuri
Pepe called at 10:00 am with this dispatch:
"Hello! This is Pepe calling from Ecuador! Right now we are on the summit of Pasachoa. It is absolutely beautiful right now. We made perfect time and had perfect weather the entire way. We can see the summit of the other nearby peaks like Cotopaxi and Antisana. Yesterday, I didn’t call, but we went to the local market and the climbers had a great time. Tomorrow we plan to do another acclimatization hike on Gua Gua Pichincha."

Hey, Jenn and Bill! Glad the beginnings of your climb are going well. Be safe and have fun. Katie, Jim, and I leave for Lawrence for the qualifying track meet Friday and will be out until Monday. Good Luck,

Hi Jenn and Bill!
So cool that you guys are doing this and even cooler that we can communicate so immediately!!!! Sounds like you are off to an adventurous and exciting start. I think about you every day and hope you are having a good climb!
Woody had an accident at the beach and mysteriously cut himself - 12 stitches inside and 12 staples outside. He's ok, though.....Eric is getting ready to go to camp. I've got all his gear lined up now and just have to pack it. We leave on Wednesday (13th) to go to DIA.
I'm swimming almost every day as we finally have gotten our hot Summer weather!!! LOVE IT!!!!! My mural is slowly coming along - about 6 feet done..... hope to get a lot done while Eric is away!!!
Take care and be safe!!! :) Love, Kate
