We will leave Quito at about 9:00 am. In our private 4x4 vehicle we will make our way towards Riobamba to start our climb of the Chimborazo. We will then head towards the first refuge which is located at 4,800masl to later walk 200 meters towards the second refuge which is at 5,000masl. We will then have an appetizing boxed lunch, and will get a short talk about all the safety precautions and climbing technique the guides can give us. We will have dinner at 6:00 pm to later go rest until 12:00 am for the climb. -/L/D

We'll wake up at midnight and have breakfast, and then we will make our way up to the Whymper Peak; which is at 6,310masl. It will take us approximately 7 to 8 hours to get to this peak; but when we arrive, it will be very well worth the effort, you'll be able to take in a once in a lifetime view of all the Andes. It'll take us about 3 to 4 hours to get back down to the refuge where we will pick up all of our equipment and go back down to our car, and make our way back to Quito. B/L/-
