Day 2.- In the early hours of the second day at 00:30 a.m., we will have a cup of tea and our suitcases with what we need and we will go out to the summit attempt between 7 to 8 hours walking on ice, very slowly, to reach sunrise between 6 to 7 a.m. return to the shelter, breakfast, return to Quito around 2:00 p.m.
We work in groups of 2 hikers 1 guide, if one of the hikers makes the decision to go down without reaching the summit for any reason, the entire group returns and if the group is larger and we have more guides, one guide goes down and the others continue climbing.
