Ecuador. Trained two times on the blue line to 5400m. Attempted a summit with the guide Fabian from Andean Adventures, the company that operate the refuges. The weather on the night of the climb was ok, no precipitation, not much wind. Its the first time I climb with gear. We had to go fast after the second refuge because there were people on the ridge above us, risk of falling rocks. Scrambled on rocks on the ridge. We passed some people after it on the glacier. Had a bit of trouble keeping pace, went too fast and too slow at times. When we stopped to drink something I felt my tows were freezing, really aching like someone was hitting them with a hammer! Kept climbing just a bit further but I didnt want to risk losing tows and was really exhausted! Got to Punto Negro 5920m where the red normal ascent route crosses the black technical one. Went first going down, we picked up a german woman from another group. I had to vomit. Took longer orange route down to avoid risk of falling rocks. At a tent camp we saw 2 groups of 3 people who made it to the summit. Slept a couple of hours in the refuge before leaving the mountain that is closest to the sun. Didnt make it to the top but happy I tried and had the experience.
