Cotopaxi, the big climb to disappointment. Here are are some pics from my last climbing experience in S. America. I may not have made it up to the top due to acclimatization issues with my climbing buddies - but i still got some great sun rise photos just 200 meters away from the prize.

Photo of the mountain at 4,900 meters (the summit is at 5,911 meters).
Me at the end of my journey - we wasted too much time dealing with the other climbers and with the sunrise coming it was too dangerous to go further.
The top just a few steps away.

While I didn't summit on this endeavor I'm not bitter about the experience, but in the future I will definitely choose my climbing partners with more care.
