One side of my living room is filled with gear for Ecuador, the other has a pile destined for the Ouray Ice Fest! I was a little bummed when I realized this trip would prevent me from attending an ice clinic from one of my favorite climber chicks (Angela Hawse) in Ouray, but then I realized we were scheduled to climb Cotopaxi that day :)! So while we are mountaineering, traveling and trying to speak Spanish, the rest of our crew will be hitting up some of the best ice in the world, eating enchiladas and wandering around one of my favorite places in the world. Happy Ice Fest everyone!
As for Las Escalitas..
Today is the day! We are anxious and excited and ready and...LETS JUST GO ALREADY! I am ready to experience my first big mountaineering trip, see what all this high altitude business is about and hang with Las Ecalitas for 17 days! We leave Fort Collins to spend a night in Houston (12hr layover :p), then just a few more planes to catch before we land in QUITO!! Nothin' like a 27hr travel time eh? Oh well, nothing I can't handle with Mel and Heather! We'll keep you all updated as much as possible, especially since I'm not sure what else to do for 12hrs in Houston, TX...besides you know, sleep and keep getting over this silly cold.
Lots of love,
Las Escalitas

So psyched for you three! You all look so strong and I know you'll all get exactly what you need out of this experience.
