Secure Your VIP Back-Up Ascent
A one-day VIP support service designed for climbers who want an additional level of assistance for their Cotopaxi summit attempt.
When You Need More Than a Standard Expedition
We created this service for a very specific situation: you have come to Ecuador with the goal of climbing Cotopaxi, but your body, your schedule or the mountain has not followed the plan.
Your travel schedule is short and there is not enough time for a traditional acclimatization program.
You have completed another climb and realized that altitude is affecting you differently than expected.
You are an experienced climber but want additional mountain staff, supplementary oxygen and advanced monitoring.
You have invested significant time and money in your Ecuador expedition and want an additional layer of support for yourself and reassurance for your loved ones.
Advanced Technology for High-Altitude Mountaineering
The technology behind the Rapid Ascent O₂ system was developed by a Stanford professor and experienced climber with more than 20 years of mountaineering experience and extensive experience monitoring expeditions in the Himalayas.
Kordillera combines this expertise with modern medical technology and mountain experience to provide climbers with an additional level of information and professional oversight during their ascent.
Oxygen saturation can be monitored during the ascent to provide real-time physiological information.
Heart rate data provides an additional physiological indicator throughout the climb.
When monitoring is activated, physiological information can be reviewed remotely by the expedition’s medical team.
Supplementary oxygen is carried throughout the ascent and available whenever required according to mountain and medical protocols.
Rapid Ascent. Professional Support. Advanced O₂.
Specialized supplementary oxygen support for high-altitude climbing.
Dedicated additional mountain support for each climber.
Experienced mountain professionals responsible for technical guidance, route management and mountain safety.
Personalized coordination, priority logistics and close support before and during the ascent.
Important mountain and medical information: Supplementary oxygen and physiological monitoring are additional safety and support measures. They do not eliminate the risks associated with high altitude, replace appropriate acclimatization or guarantee a medical outcome or summit. The mountain guide retains final authority regarding route, safety and whether a summit attempt should proceed based on weather, mountain conditions and the climber’s condition.
Protect Your Summit Investment
When your time in Ecuador is limited and the Cotopaxi summit matters, give yourself an additional level of professional mountain support, advanced oxygen and peace of mind.
