Cotapaxi cherries

Doug's first mountain. Applause please. Some people climb nearby hills, some climb trees, but no. Doug would have none of that hogwash. He wanted a real challenge. Say go to the equator and climb a 5,897m peak - the 2nd highest in Ecuador. Do it with only 3 days of acclimatization, and do it without any training save his drinking arm. That would be impressive enough for most people, but no, it wasn't enough for this rugged adventurer. He wanted to do the whole thing in 2 days and in the rain. He got his wish. I wasn't pleased with this last request, but some people enjoy misery, like staring at a mathematical models of radiology for a year.
