22-25 / Ruta Integral del Pichincha

7/11/25: Our taxi couldn’t make it to the trailhead, so we had to start the hike about 2,000 feet lower than usual. Other than that, another lovely jaunt across the four summits of the integral. Ellen and I were happy to catch up with Steve again on Rucu Pichincha.

Summits: Guagua Pichincha (15,696'), Padre Encantado (14,829'), Ladrillos (15,148'), Rucu Pichincha (15,413')
