First thing tomorrow morning, I'll get up, have a huge breakfast and hop on a bus to this volcano, Cotopaxi. It's the world's tallest, snow-capped, active volcano, and we'll be heading for the summit. We've tried on all our gear, bought gatorade, apples and chocolate, batteries for the headlamps and made sure our phones and cameras are all charged (these are all supposed to work at the summit).
The deal is we drive up, have lunch and practice braking and climbing all afternoon, have a big dinner and hit the hay. We get up at midnight and start climbing, aiming to reach the top between 6 & 8 am - just in time for sunrise. Apparently, any later than that and the snow starts to melt in the sunlight making it a much tougher and less-pleasant hike.
Wish me luck!
