Essentual For Climbers

I thought this book was great for helping me discover some of good climbs and backpacking trips off the gringo trail. Many of the hikes it seems like no one explores, which I guess is a good thing. Can't wait for Columbia to settle down and hope Bradt puts together an equally good guide for that country.

Best guide to outdoors in Ecuador

We spent 2 months romping around the hills of Ecuador and this guide was indespensible. Definitely need to buy IGM maps for the more remote treks that are not on established trails. It was really fun to explore areas not ofetn visited by gringos. Ecuador is full of surprises and this guide really helped us to experience the real outdoors of the country.

Comprehensive guide that allows seeing areas beyond Cotopaxi

We were able to explore areas that hardly any foriegners had visited since several of hikes are new to this edition. Imagine they will be ruined soon but hopefully other travellers will take care not to flaunt their wealth to villagers. Recommned super hike to Anagamarca.

New hikes and route diagrams.

Thurber greatly improved text and added needed route diagrams, but needs color pictures. We liked hikes around Chugchulan especially and one to Mindo.

Best guide to Ecuadorian Andes.

Really helped me on hikes around Papallacta but still necessary to buy topo maps at IGM - paramo can be confusing.
