Cycling to 4,800 m Altitude // A Bike Touring Short Film // Part 29 - Ecuador (continued)
The night before we attempted to cycled up to the refuge of Chimborazo at 4,800 m.a.s.l., we camped at 4,200 m, on a wide open, high-altitude plain. We found some shelter from the relentless wind behind a little hill, with a spectacular view of the volcano! Chimborazo, the highest mountain in the world (when measured from the Earth’s core) at 6,263 m, is an incredible sight to behold! ...and we were lucky enough to experience it in good weather.
When we had previously cycled at altitudes between 3,000 and 4,000 meters, we had never really experienced any strong symptoms of altitude sickness, or noticed a significant reduction in our fitness. But this time, starting at around 4,400 m, we could really feel our lungs and muscles being starved of oxygen.
