New Route Update: Chimborazo: Improved Chances to Climb Ecuador´s Highest Mountain!
some Months Ago, Andeanface Took Part in An Expedition to Find a Safe Route On Chimborazo. The Expedition Was Led By Jose Luis Peralvo Actual President of Aseguim the Ecuadorian Association for Mountain Guides. the Expedition Found a Route Via the Stübel Glacier that Now Provides the Safest Alternative to Climb Chimborazo, Ecuador´s Highest Mountain. In this Way We Avoid “el Castillo”, Which During the Last Years Has Become Very Dangerous Due to Its Exposure to Rock Fall as a Result of the Global Warming. Andeanface Considers Its Responsibility to Offer Safety First as Well for Our Clients as for Our Guides.
Chimborazo is Ecuador’s Highest Peak. For Many Years European Climbers Thought It Was the Highest Mountain in World. In Fact, It is the Highest Mountain if Measured from the Centre of the Earth, and It's the Mountain Closest to the Sun Due to the Earth’s Wider Shape. The First Ascent Was Made By the Famous Expeditionary Edward Whymper Back in 1892. The Mountain Has Four Main Summits:
Veintimilla 6.267 M / 20,561 Ft (named By Edward Whymper After the President of Ecuador)
Whymper 6.310 M / 20,702 Ft
Politecnica 5.820 M / 19,094 Ft
Nicolas Martinez 5.570 M / 18,274 Ft (named After One of the Pioneers of Ecuadorian Mountaineering)
