8:03Now PlayingIn late 2025, I summited Cotopaxi, my first glaciated peak standing at above 19,000 ft and close to 5,900 meters. The ascent began at 11:30 p.m. and finished at the top of the volcano at around 6 a.m. for sunrise. It was a very hard climb but offered breathtaking views at the top and on the way down. This is primarily tech channel, but I decided to publish this here because... well, I thought you might enjoy it.
From the tech side, I used ChatGPT to research, dropping in full itineraries from Explore-Share.com and having the bot analyze and tell me what fit my needs best. I also used the bot to focus my training, regularly uploading data from my Garmin watch to keep track of progress and keep me from overdoing it. Video animations created via Google's VEO.
This video is a personal video diary. It's not intended to be a climbing movie.
