Chimborazo altitude
As a consequence of its technical difficulty, historically, there have been fatal accidents in the volcano, most of them due to avoidable mistakes. Because of that.
Where to stay
The most popular refuge is Whymper, situated at 16, 400 feet and well-equipped with comfortable bunk-beds, bathrooms, basic food supplies and a fireplace.
Refuge Carrell, at 15, 750 feet, is also well prepared to host climbers. Because of its location, to start the ascent from there you will need to leave a bit earlier.
There are two campsites closer to Chimborazo: El Castillo and Moraine. The former can get pummeled by snow fall in the case of strong wind or avalanche.
