!00% Summit Success - overnight Crater Camp (18,802 ft.)

The guide called at 6:20pm from the summit to say everyone made it to the top!

They'd been hiking since 4am and still had a couple of hours to go to go down into the Crater where they will spend the night. So they saw the sun rise and the sun set on the trail. That's a HARD day!

Tomorrow after a bit of time to explore the Crater floor, they begin their descent.

Tonight's campsite - 18,802 feet! It's tough to sleep at this elevation, even after all the acclimatization and after a long hard day's trek.
