The Final Ascent

We started out final climb at midnight and walked through the night to the crater rim, lifted by the singing of our guides. Some were ready to stop but Joshua insisted that only altitude sickness was a good enough reason to turn back and we all made it to the summit. The sign read 5895m and the GPS more or less agreed.
