THE LONELIEST SUMMIT TRAIL

There is a curious irony in modern mountaineering.

The world’s most famous summit route has become one of the most crowded.

Yet on Chimborazo, the point on Earth’s surface farthest from the center of the planet, the summit trail remains what a summit trail was always meant to be.

A path through silence.

A handful of climbers.

The crunch of crampons on frozen snow.

No traffic jams.

No waiting lines.

No crowds stretching to the horizon.

Just the small group you traveled with and the mountain rising above you.

At over 6,000 feet farther from Earth’s center than the summit of Everest, Chimborazo offers something increasingly rare in the modern world:

Space.

Solitude.

Perspective.

Kordillera Lonely Expeditions.

Mountaineering Rediscovered.
