The first 6+ hours of the final ascent are done in darkness, setting out from Kibo a bit before midnight, so I don’t have any photos of that (very, very hard) stretch. The first photo I got was a little beyond Gilman’s Point (where the Marangu route meets the crater rim), with Mawenzi Peak behind us, just a little after sunrise.
Wade and I as silhouettes, with the crater snowfields behind us.
