Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has climbed Mt. Altar in Ecuador. If so, any advice? Cheers.

I lived down there for a long time and climbed everything but Sangay and El Altar. I've got some partners who have climbed it, so I've got some second hand knowledge and can get some more info. My wife has been into base camp twice as well. Send a pm if you'd like. Timing the weather right is everything. Need to be acclimatized and able to move fast. The last pitch is very exposed rock that you'll climb in crampons. pm if you'd like. Good luck.
