Well done & congrats on a Great Race! As a runner of the 100K event this year as well, I'm super grateful you put this video together for memory sake! It's amazing to be able to show friends and family what the course was like with all the changes in weather.
Best of luck with the climb! I think what helped me the most was training to develop a strong aerobic base. I did a lot of stair master with a 10 to 25 lb weighted vest for 20 to 60 minutes. I tried to go at a slow pace so my heart rate would stay in mostly zone 2. Managing the breathing under discomfort in high altitude conditions is key. Also, strong calves, quads and glutes will help you work through the volcanic sand, snow and ice, which can all be soft or slippery.
Exactly. I drove to the midpoint to drop the bag off before heading over to the trailhead. I left a note on the bag so people would know to leave the bag alone (ie not throw it out).
I was up there in December of 2017, on a very rare for the Cotopaxi, clear sunny day. It was a promise I had made to both myself and the mountain since I first set my eyes on it in August of 1990. It took me a while but I finally did it.. It is my favorite mountain in the world with a enormous symbolic meaning.
You captured some awesome footage in this video! I recently posted a virtual trail run through the woods as well! Please keep posting - I'll be watching!
Great video, reminded me of when I went to the Cotopaxi as well in 2014. We started at a slightly lower altitude and went up until the lower glacier. Walking in this loose volcanic sand wasn't an easy task, let alone climbing up the glacier to the summit! Great memories :) and congratulations on reaching the summit!
@@mikecapannelli7731 For a 2-day ascent for one person, I paid $495 (includes guide and all equipment). This price may be lower if you go in a group of two or more. I booked my guide, Fernando, through explore-share.com. You can contact my guide, Fernando Iza, through his email (feriza81@gmail.com) to check for availability.
THIS VIDEO WAS SPECTACULAR. I AM GOING TO QUITO FIRST WEEK OF APRIL AND WILL ATTEMPT COTOPAXI ON THE 7TH OR 8TH. WHO WAS THE GUIDE FOR YOU?? PLEASE RECOMMEND. DO I NEED A GUIDE?? WHERE CAN I RENT THAT PICKUP IN QUITO?? THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS POST. IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. YOU SHOULD BE MAKING MORE!!!!!!
Thank you! I believe a guide is required for Cotopaxi. Either way, I highly recommend using one. My guide was Fernando from Cotopaxi Travel (www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g294308-d12083085-Reviews-Cotopaxi_Travel-Quito_Pichincha_Province.html). He was very knowledgeable and helpful on the mountain. The pick up truck was my guide's truck. He picked me up from my hostel in Quito.
