Summit of Cotopaxi - gear testing taken to new heights

In an effort to test gear in more extreme terrain than the Wasatch, Backcountry.com employee Brian Gulotta headed off to Equador to tackle Cotopaxi. Standing at 19,347' Cotopaxi is known as the worlds tallest active volcano and a target for many mountaineers.

Below Brian is seen feeling the effects of thin air as he nears the summit of Cotopaxi. Nice work on a successful climb Brian!


Near the summit of Cotopaxi. Tools of the trade.


Headed for home.
