Cotopaxi/Maruco

Dont have photos of this trip but im sure you can find some images online of Maruco, a small mountain next to Cotopaxi, and you should because it is absolutly beautiful!
Hiked in Saturday and out Sunday. A three hour hike in turned into a 4 and a half hour hike due to hail then show storm and the biggest electrical storm i have ever seen/heard/felt! We were hiking up a ridge to pass by the foot of cotopaxi and to Maruco when we had to escape(fast) into a valley to avoid getting fried... It was SOOOO cool (chandler like your dream thunder storm) I was dancing and trying to stay warm since we waited for about a 1/2 hour till we were sure it passed!

Hiked up to a permanent camp and ate and ate and ate, talked and laughed a lot. Didn´t sleep a wink as we were sleeping like sardines, while i was warm i was also extremly uncomfortable with a headache and all. BUT it was so worth it.
