Ecuador truly is a special place! Last year I was fortunate to visit this countries highest mountains, which are almost entirely volcanoes. Though its highest peak eluded me, I was able to successfully climb its second highest peak, Volcán Cotopaxi, which is seen here.

Here we go! A recent picture of sunset on Volcán Cotopaxi. On this trip I will be attempting too climb 3 of the 10 highest peaks in Ecuador! Questions!?

While in Ecuador, I thought it was appropriate to create this peak list.

Found these photos deep in the hard drive! I like how some of them came out. A little climbing photography.

Maybe I should do more of this?

!!!BIG EXCITING NEWS!!! (PLEASE READ BELOW)

I've recently been invited on a once in a lifetime expedition to Kyrgyzstan to attempt some unclimbed peaks! This opportunity doesn't come around very often, and the experience would be one that not many people get!

It's fairly short notice and I currently don't have the available funds to cover this Expedition before it's set to leave.

I am therefore (uncomfortably) asking friends and family if they'd be willing to give me small micro loans (which I fully intend to pay back).

If you'd be excited to support me and to see me do this trip, and get a full slideshow presentation upon my return please reach out and let's chat, I'd be happy too share more info and details one on one.

Thank you all for the amazing support!
