This is it!
We will start our final and, by far, the steepest and most demanding part of the climb. We'll be using our head laps to light our way as we begin around midnight. At this altitude we will be going very slowly in the darkness on a switchback trail through loose volcanic scree to reach the crater rim at Gillman's Point (18,651ft.). We will rest there for a short time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawenzi. At this point we will access our condition and those who feel up to it will make the two hour climb Uhuru Peak (19,340ft.), There we will pass close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit area.
We can't spend too much time at the summit because we will need to descent to Kibo, which will be surprisingly fast, and after some refreshment we will continue the descent to reach our final campsite at Horomobo.
