All I can say is that this race can’t get any better, as it never disappoints and results can be really unpredictable every year. iRunFar.com has put up a nice roundup of the race and the results. A good read with photos

I attempted the main summit via the Ayoloco glacier, however, I had to bail at 4,800m due to bad/unpredictable weather and knee-deep snow that was more like slush. Really insecure and not fun at all
