Hey.  Oregonian here and I've got myself some plane tickets to Quito and will have full days in country from the 27th of January to the 5th of February.  I am looking for partner(s) and a guide for the Volcanos, with Cotopaxi and Chimborazo of particular interest. In that time frame I'm hoping to at least get in 2 major summits, although 3 would be great, plus a couple acclimatization hikes.  It would be cool to explore some of Ecuador's cities and attractions as well, but priority would be given to the mission.  I have literally nothing booked other than my flights and no plan, but I'm working on it.  I would probably rather pay a local guide than a bigger outfit, but I've never paid a guide before so i'm not familiar with how it all works.  I have taken an AIARE 1 and rescue course last year, happy to share a more complete resume.  These would be my highest peaks by far, although I've done much more technical stuff on Hood, and water ice in Hyalite. If anyone is interested in connecting, or has any advice they can share please contact me here, or on my instagram @kevin.diederich.  I'm reluctant to put my phone number on here but if you DM me here or instagram I'll get you my number.
