This is Benno again, I lost the signal, last time I called.
Right now we are still on the summit getting amazing views! It’s really windy so I’ll need to call again later with details
I’ll call you again and let you know what happens.
We reached . . . we went all the way to the main summit . . . .
Excellent conditions, good snow . . . .
We can see all the peaks in Ecuador and out over the Amazon. It’s amazingly beautiful. We’re all well and extremely happy to be here.
