Memorial Chimborazo
Memorial Chimborazo

Tras realizar la aclimatación completa: Pasocha 4164 m, Pinchincha 4698m e Illiniza Norte 5116m; por fin toca el reto final, subir la cima del Chimborazo 6310m.

Esta es la tercera vez que me aventuraba por encima de los 6000m de altura. Las dos previas sin éxito (Aconcagua e Island Peak).

En esta ocasión, la aclimatación fue muy bien, sin apenas dolor de cabeza.
Llegamos por la tarde al Refugio Hermanos Carrel que está a 4800m (la altura del Mont Blanc). Descansamos unas horas antes de la cena y comenzar la aventura de la ascensión.

Justo por detrás del refugio existe este memorial a los alpinistas que intentaron el ascenso y murieron en el intento. Los sentimientos que experimentas cuando visitas un lugar como este son una mezcla entre respeto y repelús.
Entre que ya tienes una tensión por la incógnita de si acabarás consiguiendo subir a la cima, de si todo se pondrá bien para conseguir el reto (meteorología y tu propio físico) y encima ves estos recordatorios de gente que murió intentando hacer lo mismo que tu pretendes; pues no es del todo agradable.
Sin embargo, no deja de ser un ritual en la mayoría de las montañas, visitar estos memoriales y tener consciencia de la aventura a la que te enfrentas.
