New Pics from the Vault -- Cotopaxi

I finally got my head together with some of the climbers on the trip .. and got some new great shots from the Iliniza and Cayambe climbs. Pics are worth 1000 words .. enjoy. Thanks to Marcie Hansen for some of these amazing pics.  

Below are some interesting pics from our unsuccessful attempt on Cotopaxi. Pics from Cayambe and Iliniza follow.
