The journey ahead will take you from an elevation of 4,330 meters to 4,750 meters, covering a distance of just 4 kilometres and taking approximately 3 hours. As you make your way across the lunar-like landscape of the "Saddle," you will be surrounded by a barren and desolate environment, characterized by rocky and dusty terrain, with very little vegetation. This harsh environment is a stark contrast to the lush forests and fertile landscapes you have encountered thus far on your journey. Despite the challenging terrain, you will be filled with a sense of determination and excitement as you approach the base of the Kibo crater wall and the Kibo campsite (4,750m), your final stop before the summit. This is a crucial stage in your ascent, as you will have the opportunity to rest and prepare your body and mind for the final push to the summit tomorrow. Take this time to familiarize yourself with your surroundings, and eat a hearty meal to fuel your body for the challenges ahead.

The final ascent begins at 1 a.m. with a slow and steady climb through the darkness. We are guided by torchlight, making our way up the switchback trail through loose volcanic scree. The air is thin and the terrain is steep, but we are determined to make progress towards the summit. As we reach the crater rim at Gillman's Point, we take a moment to rest and admire the stunning sunrise over Mawenzi. The view is breath-taking, and we feel a sense of awe and accomplishment as we take it in. We make our way past the glaciers and ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit area, feeling a sense of accomplishment as we reach the top. After some rest and refreshment, we continue the descent to Horombo Hut. The descent is surprisingly fast, and we feel a sense of relief and accomplishment as we reach the bottom. As we arrive at Horombo hut, we are greeted with hot soup and warm blankets. We rest and recuperate, taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
