"Pretty nice trail overall. Nice forested section, but steep. Upper scree field section is nice and the views are incredible. The flatter forested section just past the houses is very very muddy and not all parts of it have good places to step and stay dry, so expect muddy shoes." — easton • Feb 19, 2025

"Once you get past the end of the main trail, it turns into loose scree field. I didn’t get to summit Cerro Madsen because the top got very loose and I didn’t feel comfortable going up the snowfields with only micro spikes. Past the snowfields looked pretty sketchy too so I just needed better gear and beta going into this. Made it about 5/6 way to summit" — easton • Feb 15, 2025

"Despite ridge looking very gradual from a distance, but given its sizes it's a very false impression. The climb is somewhat 30-40 degrees, quite steep.
Had to bail 100-120m below the summit due to avi concerns 😔
We had all kind of snow: new snow, old snow, deep snow, faceted and multiple layers, dry loose sugary one. Different types, the same shit pile, literally.
We were post-hauling and trail breaking for 2-2.5 hours at least.
Well, till the next time." — alexp • Feb 5, 2025

"The most demanding thing I've done to the date so far. But sure it is a beautiful climb!
There was ~40 ppl in the Refuge that night, ~10-12 groups or so. About 50% of them turned back midway." — alexp • Feb 1, 2025

"Ascended the regular route from High Camp, which starts around 5,300m. The route was snow free so scrambling was easy, although very loose in some areas. Crevasses were visible and the few snow bridges we crossed were solid. 4 hours to Veintimilla, and another 30 minutes to Whymper (Chimborazo summit). I asked Chelsea to marry me at sunrise, with Sangay erupting on the horizon! " — ivo • Oct 7, 2023
