Article on the effects of climate change on Chimborazo www.science.or...
Chimborazo is a volcano in Ecuador rising 6263 m above sea level. It is only 1 degree off of the equator. And because our globe is thicker around the equator, Chimborazo's summit is actually the farthest point from the center of earth. Ecuador is known for its many volcanos including Antisana, Cotopaxi and Cayambe. It is a true playground for mountaineers, alpinists and other climbers.

Thanks for sharing your story, Rasmus. Hard decision to turn around before reaching the summit, but clever. So very well done!

@rasmuspreston Год назад

Thank you for watching, Camilla. Have you ever been to Ecuador? Such a beautiful place. I really want to go back soon and climb all the famous volcanos there.

Great video and great post. I was there back in March and also turned around. This vocano is a beast and a tough slog. I will be back in January 2024 for a second attempt. Thanks for posting.

Did you go back and finish?

@isaacmont3623 3 месяца назад

@@wes4619 we went back. Me and 2 of my sons. Sadly . I was burnt out and stayed at high camp to rest. My younger son. Made it to 18900 feet and turned around after vomiting from altitude sickness. My older son did make the summit. So the expedition waa not a total loss. We also summited Cayambe, Anisa Sur and Pinchincha Guagua. Side note. My youngest son is going back in 2 weeks for a third attempt. Lets see what happens.

Great video !!! One day I will climb the volcanoes of my country. Correction: There are no wolves in Ecuador. The animal that ecuadorian guide mentioned is a FOX not wolf. Greetings from NYC.

@alexwbanks70 Год назад

I don't understand why you'd do this without climatizing. This is the first video I've watched of yours. Maybe I'm missing something and this is something you do a lot. I'll check it out. Thanks..... EDIT: What were you thinking?

@rasmuspreston Год назад

Hi Alex. Thanks for watching. Maybe I should have explained why in the video, haha. Some friends invited me to join the climb, so it was not my decision to have this fast itinerary without acclimatization ;) I decided to join anyway for the adventure. Sure to say it was a learning experience, but I also had a good time exploring my limits. Hope you enjoyed the video.

I could tell the second I saw you you weren't going to make it Your breathing hard that's never a good sign I see this more and more these days You have to relax Be one with the mountain And take however long is required It's not a race and it's certainly not a stress!

@rasmuspreston 10 месяцев назад

For sure. Next time I will acclimatize and do it proper :) Jumped on this opportunity with some friends who had already planned it, so I didn't have any say on the itinerary.

@williamkinsey8174 10 месяцев назад

Peer pressure can be very very good or very very bad please learn the difference You live on an absolutely breathtaking planet there are over 1400 mountains to climb but none of this will count for anything if you overdo it!

@TheLegend-rf7bk Год назад

Your videos are great, I dont get how you only have 326 subscribers.

@rasmuspreston Год назад

Thanks a lot! Steadily climbing. Just need to put out some more videos. I have a lot af vlogs coming :)

@PabloIzurieta 6 месяцев назад

You were lucky that turning around was all you had to do. 6300 meters without acclimatizing was a foolish enterprise.

@rasmuspreston 6 месяцев назад

For sure was. Learned a lesson :)

Hey!! I am going to Ecuador next fall and I want to climb and ski!! I’d love to get in contact with you about guide companies and such if you would be willing!

@aquamarysswimacademy6912 5 месяцев назад

Great video, I just dont understand why you tried it unacclimatized....that has been very naive

@rasmuspreston Месяц назад

I wont argue it was stupid. I joined a group of American friends who are sometimes a bit too optimistic with their weekend adventures haha. I decided to give it a shot anyway and learned a ton. And I still enjoyed the trip :)

@ommba07 Год назад

Thanks for sharing, very well done. Wise decision to go back. May I ask what camera you had for filming (besides your phone)? I'm looking for something that's easy to turn on and off and film appropriately considering the circumstances. Good luck in your next attempt!

@rasmuspreston Год назад

Thank you for watching! I used a Sony a7S III with a 24-70 mm 2.8 lens and a GoPro. The phone and GoPro fill the same role, to film when it is too cumbersome to use the bigger camera. Too bad the GoPro also died, but I have upgraded the batteries to some, that should be better for cold weather use now. If I were to shop for something now, I would look at the SONY ZV-E10, the SONY ZV-1 II or the SONY ZV-E1 depending on your budget. There might be good cameras from other brands out there too. Climb on!

@ommba07 Год назад

@@rasmuspreston Thanks for your answer!

@rasmuspreston Год назад

@@ommba07 No problem! I also like the Peak Design Capture Clip for attaching the camera to my backpack shoulder strap. Check it out. It works wonders for having easy access to the camera, which equals more shooting time :)

@ommba07 Год назад

@@rasmuspreston Thanks for the recommendation. I think just the go pro will be fine for me for now. I am looking for something simple and not that expensive for my Chimborazo climb. I do however definitely appreciate the higher quality behind the cameras you suggested! Maybe some day down the road!

@rasmuspreston Год назад

@omarmbareche7897 Sure thing! Look up the winter batteries for the GoPro. They work significantly better. And keep the spare in a chest pocket close to your body to keep it warm. That way it lasts longer
