Matt talks to Newsround about their amazing climbing attempt which is taking the team up to 16,500 feet.

Will shows us the enclosure the team have been building for the endangered bears, which is going to be a vast improvement on what they are currently using.

Kylie shows us round her base camp high in the Andes. The four girls share a tent together and every morning are visited by wild horses.
Everyone lives on noodles and porridge and because it's so wet wellies come in real handy when they need to nip out to the loo.
Day 5 - horse riding in the Andes

Training hard to get used to their new environment, Caitlin and the team are getting to grips with the only viable form of transport at these altitudes - the horse.
Like most of them Caitlin had never ridden a horse before and was feeling understandably nervous...
Day 3 - meeting the bears

Having arrived at their base camp at Cotopaxi, Matt and the rest of the team met for the first time the two spectacled bears they will eventually release back into their natural environment.
They all found it upsetting to see such big animals in such cramped conditions and can't wait to release them.
