Description
WE climbed this peak in January 1999 by default. We were planning on climbing Nevado Ruiz, but had to settle for Olleta because of teh eruption danger on Nevado Ruiz. Olleta is a good easy 15,912 mountain and there are great views of Ruiz from the summit. You drive to almost 15,000 feet so it must be one of teh easiest mountains of it's height in the world. Find a driver in Manizales.
Thanks to Scott Patterson for this description.
